It takes more than talented employees to become a cohesive, effective team. That’s where we can help. We have achieved great outcomes—here is a case study to illustrate our results:
Case Study: The “Sick” Operating Room Team
After a merger, a large hospital operating room with more than 150 nurses and technicians had a divided culture, both geographically and philosophically. Authority broke down, along with high standards and mutual respect. New recruits were hard to come by and tough to keep.
Through our collaborative change process, trust was rebuilt, effective responsibility and authority levels were established, the structure was modified and the work procedures were successfully standardized.
The results? Turnover is drastically reduced, the quality of patient care has soared and this healthy OR is now a magnet for new graduates.

A 360-Degree Feedback Process is a great tool for giving leaders clear feedback from their peers, employees, and managers. It creates strong motivation and specific focus to improve skills and performance.
Joan Lloyd & Associates will design and implement a custom, easy-to-use 360-degree feedback tool for your organization.
During a typical 360-Degree Feedback Process we will:
- Use your existing leader competencies, or help you create leader expectations
- Formulate the questions online using survey methodology and a secure site
- Coordinate all the mechanics and administration of running an effective online survey
- Analyze and compile all the data we collect into reports that you can use to benchmark the current skill level of your leaders, plan for future training and development and measure results
- Compile individual, aggregate, or any other format reports that you require
- Conduct a workshop to teach your managers how to use what they learn to develop practical action plans.
- Provide Individual action planning sessions, if desired.
- Talent development planning/Succession Planning
360-Degree Feedback – Case Study #1
A large division of a manufacturing company was unhappy with its existing 360-Degree Feedback tool and process. It was too cumbersome and difficult to interpret.
Working in collaboration with one of our partners, BDD, we designed an online assessment that incorporated the leader competencies that were culture-specific.
The new 360-degree feedback tool was shorter and easier to complete. We also provided one-on-one action planning for managers to help them create meaningful development plans.
The result? The entire company adopted our easy-to-use, online 360-Degree Assessment Tool and process.
360-Degree Feedback – Case Study #2
The CEO of a large organization wished to do an online, 360 evaluation of his performance for his Board, within a short timeframe.
We integrated the Board’s measures, the CEO’s requests and the company’s leader competencies into an easy-to-use online assessment tool. Using the results, we also facilitated a planning session with the CEO and the Board. A strategy session was also held with the executive team
The results? The CEO had a clear understanding of his performance and developed a specific plan for addressing both personal and organizational issues with his team, to make his organization even more successful
