Organizational Advisory
The art of people.
The science of business outcomes.
You want to grow, keep good people, and have leaders your team trusts. That comes down to how your organization is set up, how it’s led, and who you keep. It’s the work we do.
Start a ConversationNo pitch. Just a straightforward discussion about what you’re facing.
Strategy realization is what we do.
The people side is how.
Every organization invests in the strategy. The numbers get scrutinized. The technology gets selected. But the people—the ones who actually execute—get treated as the soft side. They’re not. They’re the side that determines whether the strategy succeeds.
Method without humanity stalls. Humanity without method drifts. We bring both—proven change methodology and a real understanding of what people need to navigate it.
One practice, different shapes: talent strategy, organizational development, leadership development, and the diagnostics that surface what’s actually at risk. Diagnostic, not prescriptive. Hands-on through implementation. Built so your teams lead the change—and sustain it after we’re gone.
Who We Work With
Leaders navigating growth, where talent is the variable.
This is for you if…
- Your organization is planning a transformation, transition, restructure, leadership change, strategic pivot, or acquisition
- Your organization’s success depends on retaining and aligning critical talent
- You need to move fast without breaking what’s already working
- You want diagnosis before prescription, not a packaged solution
- You value senior expertise from day one—not junior consultants learning on your dime
- You’re willing to hear what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear
- You need someone who can work at the executive level and get things done
This is not for you if…
- You need someone to validate decisions already made
- You want a consultant who won’t challenge you or speak the truth
- You’re looking for a large firm with a big team on your account
The Approach
Diagnostic, not prescriptive.
Most consultants arrive with a solution looking for a problem.
We start differently. Every engagement begins with understanding your actual situation—not the org chart, but the reality. Who holds the relationships. Where the informal power sits. What’s actually at risk.
26+ years of pattern recognition.
We’ve seen what happens when talent strategy gets treated as an afterthought during transitions. We’ve led change initiatives for 5,000 employees. We know where things fail: the people who were supposed to execute the strategy walk out the door.
Senior practitioners from day one. No handoffs.
No bait-and-switch. No learning curve on your dime. When you engage TRG, you get seasoned practitioners doing the work—diagnosis through implementation. When specialized expertise is needed, we bring in senior partners we’ve worked with for years.
The real cost is the talent you lose while waiting to get the people strategy right.
Not This
“Here’s a framework. We’ll check back in 90 days.”
This
“Here’s who you’re about to lose—and what it’ll cost you.”
Featured Diagnostics
Two entry points. One practice.
Structured assessments that give you actionable intelligence—not theory—before investing in broader engagement.
Key Talent Flight Risk Assessment
A focused, two-week diagnostic that identifies your critical talent, quantifies their flight risk, and calculates cost-of-loss in dollars—so you can act before it’s too late.
- Key talent identification—who actually creates value
- Flight risk assessed for each individual
- Cost-of-loss calculation in dollars
- Retention action plan with priorities
Employee Engagement Survey
A custom-designed diagnostic that measures what your people actually think—with AI-enhanced analysis that surfaces patterns and priorities faster than traditional survey firms.
- Custom survey design—not a generic instrument
- Confidential AI-enhanced analysis with deeper qualitative insight
- Comprehensive report to executive team, management, and Board
- Action plan developed with leadership—not a report that sits on a shelf
Not sure which one fits? Start with a conversation and we’ll figure it out together.
Full-Service Advisory
Beyond the assessment.
Every engagement starts with diagnosis. From there, we go where your situation requires.
Change Management
+Big change fails on the people side. Acquisition, transition, transformation, strategic pivot—whatever the change, we work with the executive sponsors, the leaders below them, and the people who have to live it. Not technical change management embedded in the product; the capability your organization owns long after we’re gone.
Learn More →Organizational Development
+Build the leadership, mindset, culture, and capability inside the organization—changing how people think about the work and why it matters, so they can deliver on what the business needs. Not org design and reporting lines; the human infrastructure underneath them.
Learn More →Talent Strategy
+Align your people strategy with business objectives. Identify, develop, and retain the talent your organization needs—especially through transition. We build the roadmap and help you execute it.
Learn More →Leadership Development & Coaching
+Develop your leaders for the roles they’re in and the ones they’re growing into. Trusted-advisor coaching grounded in organizational context, supported by ICF-certified practitioners when formal credentials matter.

About
Jenn Barr, SPHR
I founded TRG in 2001 after seeing the same pattern over and over: organizations invest in change initiatives—acquisitions, restructures, growth strategies—and underestimate the people side. The strategy is solid. The execution stalls because no one aligned the talent.
Before TRG, I led HR and organizational development in environments where getting the people strategy right wasn’t optional. That experience shapes everything we do now.
TRG is a small core team of senior practitioners and a curated network of long-standing partners. No junior consultants. No subcontractors you’ve never met. Every person on your engagement is someone we’ve worked with for years and trust with our clients.
