FORUM 21

"LEADING IN THE TRANSITION TO THE 21st CENTURY"

 

Our Coaching Perspective

The Newkirk Group designed Forum 21 to lead executives at the pinnacle of decision making to master the complexities of the 21st Century business climate that stretch the limits of past personal experience. Forum 21 enables executives to resolve the most vital business and personal issues facing them while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow. We are both "now oriented" and "future driven" and integrate practice with theory. We engage in executive coaching designed to solve today's problems using innovative blended approaches as we extend the discoveries of human systems research and self-systems psychology into the practical world of leadership.

As a leader in the design of powerful coaching programs, Forum 21 transitions organizations to new paradigms of success in a world dominated by more complex approaches to globalization. We understand the nature of the modern corporation which challenges normally competent leaders to move beyond any strategy for "sustaining competitive advantage" and succeed in a world now marked by the disruptive dual forces of Hypercompetition and Hypergrowth. As the world of business changes, executives must remain proficient in ensuring personal and business success. What has worked before can quickly become a "Formula for Executive Failure" in a world where one's successes can quickly become the means to personal and professional disappointment.

Complementing other consulting firms who employ Information Technology to enable organizations or introduce Organization Development to refine work teams, Forum 21 employs the Ulthule coaching approach to enable executives, managers, and teams to attain performance at the highest level possible.  Forum 21 views executives as core leaders of corporate evolution empowered by Virtual Commerce.

While yesterday's quest was data and today's is information, tomorrow's will be knowledge about business innovation and acceleration. While each quest demands an environment unique to itself, they all require highly competent leaders. Forum 21 is your bridge between the old and new paradigms. We support the personal, business, organization, and technological needs of many clients:

      • Corporate Owners and Senior Executives interested in new paradigms of leadership or wishing to clarify the challenges of strategic action.
      • Executives seeking the personal power required to succeed in a very complex business environment.
