About Jeff Ward

I consult with business owners, C-level executives, private equity, and management teams to help them grow their business - top and bottom line. I specialize in applied behavioral analytics to help business leaders grow their organizations by getting the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats. Involved in the creation, founding, and turnaround of numerous businesses, I learned quickly how important the \"right people\" are to the success of an organization. In 2004 I founded Culture Index, Chicago West. We are a consulting firm that specializes in helping business owners, top executives, and managers: identify, hire, manage, develop, motivate, and retain top performing talent. One of the most rewarding aspects of my consulting practice is serving business owners, C-level executives, and high potential talent to help them accomplish their goals, their objectives, and maximize their potential. Specialties:Organizational Development, Bench-marking Talent, Team Design, Leadership Development, Right People Strategies, Hiring and Selection, Management Diagnostics, Sales, Marketing, Succession Planning, Exit Strategies, Wealth Creation.
