Schala Advisors

Human-centered strategic business consultants,
aligning aspirational business goals with effective operational design

Align. Empower. Impact.

A prerequisite for organizational effectiveness is alignment around a common goal. Your values determine your vision. Your vision determines your strategy. Your strategy determines your organizational architecture and operational design. We support clients in building strategically aligned organizations, ensuring a solid foundation for effective growth.

Organizations are only as strong as the people of whom they are comprised. Empowering people within organizational structures is not only efficient; more importantly, it is humane.  We work to identify gaps in operations that limit potential and design systems that work for the people who work with you, empowering business owners and employees alike to achieve all that the team has set out to do.

Ultimately, business is about impact - what problem we can solve and how our solution contributes to the world. We uphold a culture of organizational learning throughout our work, implementing systems to measure success according to the objectives you have defined. Data-based learning enables informed decision making and fuels growth, ultimately allowing us to expand our impact in the world at large.
