“The depth of insight and capability of the Palladium project team has been exemplary. We have some difficult business challenges and we felt that the Palladium team understood our business model, its short-term and medium-term objectives and how to make it succeed – in a very positive and professional manner.  We would have no hesitation in recommending Palladium to any other client.”

-A major investment organization

“Palladium has been very accommodating to our needs. The consultants on our engagement are easy to work with and we have built a good working relationship. They are clearly customer-focused…” 

-A major bio-science organization

“[Palladium has] been a good partner. Have worked with us to develop implementation plans and they have stuck by them. They, of course, bring much more to the table than technology consulting.  They are helping us change key business processes as well.” 

-A major retailer

“I would recommend (Palladium). They made it work for us. You are only as good as the people who work with the clients. If I recommended to a colleague, I would make sure they asked for (Palladium) to be on their team.”

-A government agency

No matter what your objectives are - developing a strategy management system, measuring and monitoring performance, improving planning & budgeting and consolidation processes, or leveraging information to make better decisions - Palladium provides a cohesive set of services, including consulting, advisory, education and technology solutions.

Our Services

We believe that every organization is unique. Some wish to do it themselves and are only seeking supplemental advice and support; others require a greater level of support and want to engage a consultant to drive the program. However you choose to tackle your issues, Palladium has the resources and services to meet your needs.

If you wish to start by educating yourself or your team our Executive Insights, Training Programs and Executive Conferences, are a good way to begin.

Executive Insights
Palladium Executive Insights feature educational sessions in which expert practitioners
come on-site to share our codified knowledge in the form of points of view, methodologies and case studies on key challenges. Exploring both process and technology components, each session stimulates fresh thinking, accelerates an organization’s learning on leading practices and compresses time-to implementation.

Training
Palladium How-To Training Seminars are the only training approved by BSC creators Drs. Robert Kaplan and David Norton. These seminars incorporate a mixture of classroom-style instruction and smaller group facilitation, all guided by expert BSC Certified practitioners.

Conferences
Palladium Executive Conferences and Summits focus on key topics such as strategy management, finance, decision analytics, human capital, and IT. Our events feature powerful content, leading-edge speakers, interactive sessions and thought-provoking ideas. Palladium events provide an excellent opportunity to create awareness and understanding, gain executive buy-in, network with your peers and accelerate team learning.

If you are ready to get to work and want to drive the program yourself, then our Executive Working Groups and Advisory Programs may have particular appeal. If you are looking to mobilize your team, our Assessments can compare your current practices to those of global leaders and provide a starting point for change.

Executive Working Groups
Many organizations are very interested in not only addressing the challenges of today, but also planning for tomorrow. Because of this, we developed a series of Executive Working Groups. These membership programs are led by Palladium Subject Matter Experts and include from 10 to 30 member organizations. Group participants gather several times throughout the year to jointly examine key issues as identified by the membership and work together to develop emerging best practices that can be applied to their respective environments on a real-time basis.

Advisory Services
A trend is beginning to emerge that more and more organizations are driving projects themselves, yet still want intervals of expert support to ensure they are implementing best practices and sustaining momentum. Focused support from experienced experts will help ensure you “get it right the first time.” Our Advisory Services are intended to be an extension of your own team and provide the support that is necessary to help your team successfully execute your initiatives. We do this through a combination of assets, including self-administered diagnostics, tools and templates, access to our proprietary best practice library, and most importantly, access to our expert advisors throughout your journey.

Assessments
Today there is no shortage of opinions on where you should invest your time, money and resources on improving your organization. The problem sometimes exists in identifying exactly where to start and where will you get the greatest return for your efforts. Palladium Assessments are designed to help our clients understand how to best rationalize and prioritize where they should invest. Our Assessments range from measuring your current capabilities against your own established objectives, our Best Practice database, or our Hall of Fame^TM peer companies.

If you want to increase your ability to track and report on your performance, then we have a wide variety of tools and services to help you see where you are and where you are going.

Results Tracking Tools
Tracking your progress is a critical step in driving results, yet many organizations struggle to get started.

Palladium’s tools support integrated meeting management, enterprise alignment, performance management and initiative management functionality - all designed to create a climate of corporate and individual responsibility.

Results Tracking Services
Palladium’s professionals have experience in implementing thousands of strategy and operational tracking tools for hundreds of organizations. We provide services for the reporting process, ranging from on-site consulting support, to training, to remote advisory services to ensure your organization gets up and running quickly. Our tracking services help your organization establish the proper foundation for reporting that will drive results immediately and model behavior for long term success in executing your strategy.
