GHG and Associates


Consultants to Start-Up and early stage technology companies

GHG and Associates specializes in the management of predictable conflict which occurs when highly talented executives first come together  in an undefined business entity.  The resolution of conflict in early stage companies has a positive impact on teaming, acceleration of product development, acquisition and retention of key talent and alleviates costly interruptions to product launch and commercialization.

What are the reasons start-up and early stage companies fail to realize full potential?
There are many, ranging from lagging technology development to inadequate funding.  One of the most common reasons why start-ups do not reach full potential is that highly talented executives from diverse backgrounds are often not in alignment on key issues.  The need for control, the desire for financial gain, a collision of egos and incompatible operating styles often prevent founders, investors, and executives from coming together as a successful team.

How does GHG help?
We are a group of board certified corporate psychologists and psychiatrists and highly experienced leadership development professionals who have helped emerging technology companies resolve conflicts and strengthen the capability of their human capital for nearly 30 years.

Our engagement success is measured by our ability to influence the organization to come together as a team, resolve predictable conflict, reach agreeable compromise, communicate effectively, curb counterproductive behaviors, select and assimilate new executives into the existing team, enhance succession planning, conserve capital and work with stakeholders to keep product development on schedule.
