WHO WE ARE

Orange Grove Consulting is a research-based talent management and leadership consultancy for small to mid-sized organizations. We are a certified Women Business Enterprise. We help HR, talent, and L&D leaders find out what is actually holding their people systems back, then deliver the assessment, strategy, or training that fits.

Start with the problem you’re seeing​​​​​

The OGC Talent Health System organizes our work into four areas that support each other.
Find the situation that sounds like yours, or take the Snapshot if you’re not sure. Whichever area
you start in, we show how it connects to the rest of your talent system.

Don’t know where to focus?

Diagnose & Measure

“We aren’t sure where to start”

“Good people are leaving and we won’t know why. “

Whether it’s culture, engagement, or leadership capability, see what’s really happening before you decide to fix it.

Define Expectations

“Our leaders aren’t getting results, and no one has defined what good looks like.”

We work with your leaders to define the competencies that matter most at each level, using the OGC
Leadership Competency Wheel.

Develop Your People

“We’ve invested in training and
nothing changes.”

“Our people lack key skills.”

Training fails when expectations are unclear and no one reinforces the skills. We find what’s missing first, then build training that fits it.

Align Systems & Processes

“Our performance management is inconsistent and depends on the individual manager.”

We look at how your hiring, promotion, and performance processes currently work together and where the gaps are. Then we close those gaps so every manager reinforces the same expectations.

Have a specific question about how our work applies to your organization? Our FAQ page covers common questions on talent systems, leadership development, and engagement data.

Why Now?

Every month without clarity costs you. Managers keep stepping into leadership roles without the skills to set expectations or coach performance. Initiatives launch without a clear priority, then stall. And the C-suite is watching, growing less patient with a people strategy that isn’t delivering visible results.

The longer it goes unaddressed, the more time you spend managing fallout instead of building what’s next, and the harder it gets to make the case that HR deserves a seat at the table.

The organizations that invest in clarity now are the ones building the leadership and results that keep them competitive. The ones that wait are the ones explaining to leadership next year why nothing changed.

Questions We Hear Most

Q: Do we need a full assessment before we can start?

No. If your most urgent problem is leadership skill gaps, we start with leadership development. If turnover is the burning issue, we start there. If your senior team wants to understand engagement data first, we start with assessment. Wherever we begin, we show how the work connects to the rest of your talent system so the results last.

Q: What if leadership has already decided on a specific solution?

Then we deliver it well. We will also point out other options and the best route where they are relevant, so you can decide with the full picture.

Q: How do we know where to start?

Take the Talent Health Snapshot for a five minute read on which of four areas needs attention first, or schedule a conversation and we will talk it through with you.

Q: What size organizations do you work with?

We typically work with small to mid-sized organizations.

Q: How is pricing structured?

Pricing is clear for each engagement. For training, it’s based on the number of synchronous workshops, or the number of asynchronous learners; for measurement and consulting engagements, it’s project-based and depends on scope, such as surveys, focus groups, interviews, data volume, and timeline. You receive a clear project cost in the proposal  before work begins.

Q: How will we know it worked?

We create clear, measurable goals for all projects and training programs.
