A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW WE DO ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We provide organizational development consulting, leadership and resilience training, and SECURE Analytics™ for public safety, government, education, and mission-driven organizations.
Getting the most out of your organization requires more than policies and procedures. It takes leaders who understand both operational demands and the lived experience of their people. The strongest organizations are built on staff who feel valued, supported, and psychologically safe—and are guided by leaders who know their teams’ needs, concerns, and strengths.
LION Organizational Development Institute brings together organizational development consulting, leadership and resilience training, and our proprietary SECURE Analytics™ framework. We learn your desired work culture, listen to your workforce, and, where appropriate, use analytics to understand the emotional and behavioral climate of your organization. Our goal is not to sell a generic training package, but to design a tailored, evidence-informed approach that fits your workplace ecosystem—whether you’re a public safety agency, municipal government, school district, or mission-driven corporation.
Our work follows a clear, collaborative process:
-
Consult – We start with a focused conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and organizational context, including public safety, government, education, or corporate requirements.
-
Assess – Using SECURE Analytics™ and confidential interviews with key personnel, we conduct an organizational assessment that measures employees’ lived experiences—both qualitatively and quantitatively—across culture, leadership, and psychological safety.
-
Brief – We present the results in an executive overview, often in a SWOT analysis format, highlighting strengths, risks, and opportunities for your leaders, HR, city managers, or command staff.
-
Act – We recommend a tailored action plan, which may include policy redesign, updated business operating frameworks, leadership and resilience programs through our Institutes, and other integrated organizational development solutions.
Because workplace challenges share common patterns across law enforcement, municipalities, education, and corporate environments, we can quickly recognize what’s happening in your system and respond with grounded, practical strategies. The result is a data-informed, human-centered roadmap that improves organizational effectiveness, employee well-being, and—in the case of public service—community trust.
Introducing
SECURE
ANALYTICS
SECURE Analytics™ is our proprietary diagnostic tool that leverages neuroscience, behavioral science, and organizational data to help leaders see what’s happening beneath the surface. It turns employees’ lived experiences into actionable insight so you can reduce risk, support well-being, and strengthen performance.
OUR CORE VALUES
Our core values represent what's most important to us. We adhere to these principles in life: our personal code of conduct. They're intrinsic to who we are and are as unique as our fingerprints.
Loyalty
Customer Loyalty is an ongoing positive relationship between us and our customer base. It’s what drives repeat business and prompts first-time customers to choose us over a competitor offering similar services.
Integrity
Business Integrity means closing any integrity gaps between our intentions and actions, ensuring our interactions with customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and regulators are aligned with our stated aims and purpose. And finally, make sure that organizationally, we always behave in an upstanding way.
Optimism
Optimism, Hopefulness, and Confidence about the future are the successful outcomes of business operations. In today’s ever-evolving world, looking beyond immediate events and focusing on what can be achieved to overcome them is a sure indicator of business relationship survival and success. And it demonstrates how critical it is to foster optimism in your leaders as we work with you toward your operational success.
Nobility
Noble purpose is a customer-centric way of doing business. It is about putting our clients first and working to make a difference in their operational and in some cases personal success. As an organization driven by a noble purpose, it illustrates clear statements that serve as the basis for every initiative and decision we make.
