people.

We are different.  While most people run from burning buildings, we run toward them. 

Our team does hard.  We love challenges and turning difficulty into opportunities to achieve greatness.

The DeLaPorte team is dedicated to making good companies great. The business of our business is helping your organization achieve strategy by improving human performance. Internal and external drivers provide the foundational information that becomes the context for development.

We believe four components need to be in place for real performance improvement to occur. Your employees need effective knowledge and skill development, integrated tools and processes, measurement and feedback to assess performance, and management alignment to produce business results.

As a team we start the performance improvement process by discovering what skills your employees need to deliver on the strategy of your organization. In this context, we are able to identify the competencies that make your high performers stand out, assess your people against those profiles, create custom development plans based on the results, and build solutions to develop those critical skills for a return-on-investment.

DeLaPorte is dedicated to putting the best and brightest to work for you – subject mater expertise with strong core values.
