What we do...

The Leemann Group LLC has expertise in the application of systems thinking to complex organizational situations. We apply our skills and tools to create an idealized design in order to deliver business value and achieve organizational success. Historically, business functions have solved their problems using analytical thinking. Through the use of systems thinking, The Leemann Group facilitates business groups through the interactive planning process to dissolve strategic and tactical problems so the problems never return.

Accomplishing individual professional success is driven in large measure by mastering interpersonal, intrapersonal and cognitive competencies. Particular emphasis has been placed on identifying the competencies that lead to superior performance among environmental, health and safety professionals as revealed in our recently published study.

The Leemann Group's Outward-In Focus Methodology© allows EHS organizations to systemically design enterprise-wide IT systems that deliver business value while enhancing the performance and reducing the costs of the EHS function. Too often IT systems are installed promising to do anything and everything but ultimately end up costing too much, delivering very little and creating career incidents. IT system selection is narrowed through our Industrial Strength Software Process which ensures the software vendor meets the desired requirements and is financially viable for the long term.

Sample engagements led by our principal include:

  • An analysis of alternative EHS software remedies leading to a business case justification for purchasing and deploying an enterprise-wide system.

  • A strategic interactive planning process for a major manufacturer of industrial fans resulting in a strategic plan for increasing revenue by 300% over a multi-year period.

  • An analysis of the insurance industry loss control profession and function, addressing the value-add contribution of loss control to insurance products.

  • A strategic interactive planning process for a major chemical manufacturer leading to the transformation of the safety, health and environmental function that delivers business value and significantly reduces direct and indirect costs.
