Talent and leadership advisory

Challenge Factory believes that talent is the key to greater productivity. Technology has its place. But organizational success depends fundamentally on your ability to maximize people’s potential.

Our job is to help make that happen.

Challenge Factory offers deep expertise in:

  • Organizational productivity
  • Talent development
  • Psychometric talent and leadership assessment
  • Change management and continuous improvement
  • Employee communications
  • Futurism and strategic foresight
  • Design thinking
  • Strategic human resources, project, and program management
  • Executive advisory services

The work starts with a detailed, agreed-upon project scope. That means understanding what the presenting question or issue is, why it matters, and what success looks like.

We use a suite of tools and approaches—such as our InterGen Lab—to design programs, workshops, and strategic supports that augment and complement what you already know. We do all this in ways that are customized and scaled to fit your needs.

We deliver results to all sized organizations, from start-ups to governments.

Client testimonials

“Your ability to listen, reflect, distill, and share suggestions has enabled me to both validate my options and consider them in a somewhat different light. Your confidence in me also provided motivation to continue living my legacy and to surround myself with supporters, beyond my friends and family network.”

“We live in this complex, ever-changing, interrelated, messy labour market—and the nimble way that Challenge Factory reflects that and stays in step with that is really exciting. They refuse to be caught in any one box. They do this by looking outwards, pulling in rigorous research, and applying robust methodologies so that they can bring the future into the present consciousness and do something about it in a proactive, anticipatory way.”

Director, National Foundation

“I meet with Lisa regularly to discuss challenges I am facing as a leader. I have also engaged Lisa and her team to support the development and training of my senior academic and staff leaders. They always bring a unique, and evidence driven, perspective to both conversations and training. Our work together has elevated our team, and its activities, and provided impactful connections to the broader workforce beyond this campus and higher education.”

“I believe that Challenge Factory has the ability to create the kind of traction we need to get to the next watershed. One that will change how we think about the world of work and how we think about what it means to be human.”
