Arden Consulting believes that data gathering is an important element to delivery of leadership and team development services. Data gathered by a consultant frequently results in unexpected insights into the organization, its culture and personal viewpoints. The depth of understanding that is gained helps to pinpoint the unique issues facing the team, organization and its leaders. A range of survey techniques may be used, ranging from written instruments to one-on-one or group interviews.
