"While Denison Consulting has built a reputation as an expert in diagnosing an organization's culture and leadership, the clients that come to us do so in the context of a specific challenge," said Bryan Adkins, CEO of Denison Consulting.  Leading organizations are increasingly seeking Denison's solutions for such challenges as mergers and acquisitions, leadership transitions, turnaround situations, leadership development, and human capital alignment.  

In response to these challenges, the 2012 Denison Best Practices Forum will focus on how leading organizations are using the Denison Solutions to build their high-performance business cultures. In particular, the goal of this gathering is to facilitate dialogue among participants about their culture change efforts, and the lessons they have learned throughout the process.

"Organizations are operating in an increasingly complex, unpredictable world and need more than innovative business models and strategic plans to succeed," added Adkins. "To remain competitive, they need high-performance business cultures that will effectively execute and deliver."

"A distinguished line of presenters will be sharing their experiences this year in Delray Beach, Florida," closes Adkins, "and we are really looking forward to hearing their stories."
