Welcome to COR

What is COR?

COR helps develop more effective leaders, craft thoughtful strategies, and build productive corporate cultures.

We’ve all got core professional values, principles that guide our thinking and actions throughout our career. These are the constellation of things we think are important: what we should do all day, what we are ultimately pursuing, what matters.

The more what we do aligns with our core values, the better we operate as leaders, professionals, and organizations. The reverse is also true. The bigger the gap between our espoused values and the values we use in our work, the bigger the problems.

COR is all about closing gaps.

  • A leader wants to get better and move to the next level. But something is holding her back.
  • A department head is facing intense backlash and dysfunction among staff.
  • A Millennial wants to do amazing things with his life and career. But his managers aren’t able to give him a growth path.

COR principal Heather Kashner has deep, rich experience in business, politics, and development across multiple continents stretching back more than two decades. The quality and breadth of that experience guides her work bringing individual and organizational values into alignment to develop more effective leaders, craft thoughtful strategies, and build productive corporate cultures.

Cor is professional and business alignment. Align who you are with what you do.

Organizational Evolution

Adaptation is essential for an organization evolve, survive and thrive. But, even modest changes are hard. Whether it is setting goals, developing strategy, changing your work force, or improving communication, too many organizations fail to make it happen. Some fail to bring together the elements that enable adaptation. Others lose the core of who they are.

Whether an organization is able to adapt is determined by its culture; its ability to take in, share, and make decisions based upon data from diverse sources; and, its mobilization its people. Failure to align these elements results in failure to evolve, thrive, and survive over time.

COR supports organizations working to build a culture that enables evolution, create a capacity to sense, share and act on strategically relevant information, and engage employees around scenarios that motivate them adapt to their surroundings and possible futures for their organization.

If it’s time for you to evolve, email info@CORalignment.com to see if we can help.
