AMAZING IS CONTAGIOUS
ENRGY Inc. is a data and strategy driven consulting firm that specialize in measuring organizational energy and culture, facilitating rapid change, and providing teams with insights that lead to extraordinary results.
Positive energy is the life blood of an organization
It is almost impossible to create rapid positive change without positive energy. It only takes one negative team member to drag the momentum of change.
—Mary Newman
Network analysis offers untapped insight
Real change happens in networks and ENRGY offers organizations a chance to see themselves as a dynamic living organism rather than an org chart.
—Richard Jenkins
Employee engagement is keeping CEOs up at night
Culture is everything. And it’s now inextricably linked to the rise … or the demise of profitability.
— Garry Lee
