Our model:

Our consulting services align with our commitment to developing leaders

Working with Canopy Consultants allows institutions to maintain forward momentum during leadership transitions and make progress with limited internal bandwidth for priorities that demand attention now - while creating a deeper bench of existing leaders.

During consulting engagements, we establish close partnerships with internal leaders who are responsible for creating work environments where staff thrive, so patients may receive the best care possible. We excel in helping emerging, early-career, and experienced clinical, academic, and administrative leaders accelerate their progress.

This partnership ensures institutional buy-in of the project, internal usability of deliverables, and successful long-term execution of change efforts.
