Professor Michele DeStefano provides consulting services to help organizations collaborate, innovate and create culture change. Using The 3-4-5 Method(tm) she developed and that has been tested on over 230 multi-disciplinary teams of professionals, Michele helps professional service firms guide teams on collaboration and innovation journeys from problem to solution.  

​

Note: The 3-4-5 Method(tm) is a team-based experiential innovation/collaboration process grounded in design thinking principles constructed especially for professional service providers based on their temperament, training, work preferences and innovation needs. The 3-4-5 Method works to help teams collaborate on solving a problem or seizing an opportunity of any kind whether it is to create 3 year strategic plan for the company or firm or to innovate. The Method is not only about creating solutions. It is also designed to help train the skills on the Skills Delta (including self-awareness, empathy, adaptability, cultural competency, creative problem finding and solving, business planning, communication, and collaboration). This thereby leads to the development of inclusive leaders who know how to provide client-centric full service client service that is focused on the client’s experience.

Michele also consults with companies and firms to develop new collaboration norms (especially during organizational change or merger), establish virtual teaming habits, motivates millennials and bring cross-practice, cross-border initiatives from idea to fruition.
