Corporate DNA

Minimizing the role of the consultant and expanding the role of the organization's people

For over 25 years Work Systems Associates has provided exceptional organizational development services to senior executives around the world.

We develop the client’s own internal company employees to provide the leadership and expertise needed to drive successful organizational change. This minimizes consultant involvement and replaces typical external consultant activity.

You are then left with improved leadership and employees with a clear stake in the company’s future. As well, employees gain the experience of leading change initiatives.

Origins

Founded by Dr. Harold Resnick, Work Systems Associates Inc. was formed in 1980. Hal Resnick a professor at Boston University was a pioneer in the then emerging science of Organizational Development. Based in the greater Boston area (one of the great leadership and management education centers of the world) WSA was able to take advantage of this environment and adapt leading management theory to practical application making clients more effective in the process.

From the start WSA focused on how to use training as a tool to achieve real behavior change. The WSA methodology was built on the premise that it is easier to behave your way to thinking differently than it is to think your way to behaving differently.

WSA Canada had it's beginnings in 1991 when a Canadian extension of Work Systems Associates Inc. was established in Winnipeg, MB Canada. Today WSA Canada functions as an independent consulting organization with consulting practices and experience deeply rooted in the WSA approach established by Dr. Harold Resnick.
