GOVERNANCE - Focused or Fractured Decisions
Provides a process, even a discipline, for decision
making to help a Board define the issues and focus on
desired results and outcomes. Assists the CEO and staff
by utilizing a method to define the issues, consider the
options and develop recommendations that meet
expectations. The Model focuses on the outside world
and moving toward desired ends or outcomes. Discussions

Mission Statement that include:
- Results Terminology
- Succinct language
- Recognition and acceptance both in the community
and within the organization
ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT - Re-engineer or
Re-trench

assessment of the current systems, a determination of
strengths and weaknesses and the identification of
alternatives to organizational structure and resource
sharing.

conduct an employee evaluation and turn it into a
positive experience that results in developing a work
program for improved work performance and relating it to
an appropriate compensation level.
TEAM BUILDING - Productive or Protective

process that fosters a sense of trust, cooperation and
loyalty to each other and to the organization's goals

"What will our successors say about
the decisions we make today?"
- Jim Brimeyer
For eleven years The Brimeyer Group has been assisting
local governments, semi-public and non-profit
organizations in the recruitment and selection of
quality management staff. We have built our reputation
on providing comprehensive search services. The
Brimeyer Group is often remembered when organizations
need to use a professional search firm.
We would also like to remind our clients about our
consulting services. In light of reduced revenues and
the impact on budgets, it makes more sense than ever for
an organization to explore options to be more effective.
| An organization's most
important resource are its people - Board
and staff |
We are particularly proud to utilize Governance
Model as a way for Boards to work more
cooperatively and to become more productive. We
customize our consulting sessions to address critical
staff and board issues that influence the purpose and
objectives of your organization. As a member of the
City Council on St. Louis Park I am pleased to say we
have put the Governance Model to good use. Our
decision making process is guided by "Vision St. Louis
Park, Our Community of Choice for a Lifetime." This
mission, combined with our strategic issues, has
contributed to our success as a community.
If you determine your board and/or your staff could
benefit from operation with a different point of view,
give us a call.
We would be pleased to put together a consulting
package to help your organization achieve it greatest
potential.

successors to say, |
"We appreciate that they had the
courage to do the right thing."
