CONSULTING SERVICES
Organization Development Consulting
We support mission-driven organizations through moments of growth, change, and transformation. Our OD consulting helps leaders clarify purpose, align structure with strategy, and cultivate cultures of trust and adaptability.
Using a strengths-based and participatory approach, we design processes that support healthy collaboration and culture, effective decision-making, and resilient systems — all in service of greater impact.
Equity & Belonging
We partner with organizations to build cultures rooted in equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our consulting is grounded in deep listening, systems thinking, and increasing organizational self-awareness. We help teams surface blind spots, align values with practice, and co-create strategies. These engagements are tailored to organizational needs and can include:
Roadmap: Developing an equity & belonging strategic roadmap complete with vision, success factors, goals, growth areas, strengths, and a multi-year action plan
Training: design and delivery of customized training programs to equip leaders, managers, and staff with the skills they need to enhance their awareness of equity issues, take constructive action, and hold one another accountable.
Equity Committee: Partnership in building an internal committee to steward equity and belonging work and goals
ERGs: Partnership in supporting ERGs in clarifying their goals and strategy
Coaching: Targeted coaching in Equity & Belonging to support leaders in centering equity and belonging in their leadership.

— Vice Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; academic health institution
We’ve been working with the Longbridge team for many years to advance diversity, equity and inclusion across our organization. Following their comprehensive data collection process that included meaningful interviews, focus groups and a DEIB survey for all employees, they have customized solutions to meet our specific needs. As a partner, they take the time to listen, learn and discover our strengths as well as our opportunity areas in the DEIB area. We now have a DEIB strategic roadmap and high impact training programs that guide our work. We view their team as trusted advisors who not only act as facilitators and trainers, they are also our deeply knowledgeable thought partners. The Longbridge team has thoughtfully led us as an organization on our DEIB journey — challenging us to examine how we lead, how we become catalysts for substantive change and how we live in alignment with our values.
— Senior Director of DEI; global bio-tech organization
The Longbridge Collective has been a stellar partner in our efforts to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in our organization. We have embarked on a multiyear journey that is supporting us in becoming more self aware, clear in our vision and goals and aligned on a roadmap to realize them. Longbridge has a very collaborative and facilitative style that has centered understanding our culture, needs and aspirations. Though they bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise, they do not push it on us; rather, they facilitate us in the journey as we chart our own way.
With their partnership, we have taken tremendous strides forward to advance DEI in our organization.
