Traditionally, business transformation and change has focused on tangibles (bottom lines, metrics etc.) Along with this traditional view we focus on intangibles as well because we know that people in conflict perform sub-optimally, as do processes and systems. Addressing conflict in sincere terms and providing meaningful ways forward will gain the trust, re-inspire and motivate employees to give you their best. People want to be heard, they want ways to contribute the best of themselves, we help you have those conversations and get the desired results for all parties. Further, employees are usually the first line in working with systems that are inefficient and problematic, most times they can give the best assessment of the issue and often have solutions readily available, there just needs to be an opportunity for them to be heard. Working on the intangibles invariably leads to changes in tangibles.
Our name was specifically chosen to represent what this company embodies – an agency for capitalizing on potential that already exists, mitigating the risk of conflict both interpersonal and systemic and becoming the best you can be. (add link here Our story and Philosophy)
Our view of our clients is as long-term partners. Your success is our success. Aventine will work closely with you, allowing for the rapid deployment of business solutions that quickly optimize your environment, enable growth, reduce costs, drive efficiency and minimize risk.
When we work with you, results include:
Our motto is to always leave a place better than when we found it. We see our clients’ successes as ultimately our success. When we return to do our standard three-month follow-up and the staff tell us how our recommendations and strategies have helped make their work lives better we feel happy to know that we have contributed to their workplace well-being. When organizations see an improvement in sick time and a change in their bottom line we feel as if we have been successful in turning things around.
At Aventine we believe in operating our business dealings and operations in an ethical manner.
Some of our key principles are as follows:
At Aventine Group our sole/soul mission is to unlock the power of your business potential.
Our vision is to create awareness of organizational conflict and a future where the idea of conflict in organizations as a business success indicator is commonplace.
My name is Feryal Khan and I am the founder of Aventine Group. I chose the name Aventine because it represents untapped potential due to a mediation gone wrong.
This is profound for me because as a conflict resolution specialist I see firsthand how good negotiation and mediation can elevate a situation to become better than what it once was.
At Aventine we take a different approach to business transformation, we see it through the lens of conflict: internal, external, with clients, within the system, policy and procedure and more. We look for problems that prevent personal and business optimization. We also look for opportunities to be greater, to create synergistic teams and to increase performance.
What we can offer you is this: we will come in with our unique skill set, we will ask questions in earnest, we will not pretend to have all the answers, we will work with you every step of the way and use all of who we are and all of our resources to help you unleash your full business potential. That is what I can say with certainty and in full sincerity.
