Our Vision
Play our part in making tomorrow better than yesterday, making the world a better place for all, by helping organizations adapt to a quickly changing world.
Our Mission
Empower organizations to continuously improve performance and outcomes, and adapt to a changing world, through inclusive, human-centered, and evidence-based organizational change strategies and practices.
Our Process
We use our proprietary model as a diagnostic tool to prepare your entire team for change and growth to come. We focus on three key areas when it comes to implementing change across an organization: the head, the hands, and the house.
The head represents the feelings and thought processes of individuals. The hands represent the skills and tools that employees within an organization have and have access to. The house represents the social environment and culture of an organization.
When one element of the model is modified, the other areas are affected. There is no beginning and no end to the model and all areas of the model have equal importance. By understanding the impact of change, you and your team will be able to anticipate reactions, set expectations, and implement effective, long-lasting change.
Our Values
Humanity
Change is about people and we always put people first. We take time to understand individual life experiences and perspectives that make each employee unique, as well as the social environments in which they live and work, and encourage organizations to do the same.
Lifelong Learning
We are lifelong learners and are committed to staying up to date on the latest cross-disciplinary knowledge, especially social, behavioral, organizational, and leadership and management sciences. We believe learning is a lifelong process and a two-way street, whether through formal or informal channels.
Integrity
Kennedy Consulting Services, LLC has a strong moral compass and takes business ethics seriously.
Transparency
We are transparent with our clients. We report our findings honestly, protect the privacy of our clients and the anonymity of our sources, and are always available to answer any questions.
Balance
We understand that there is give and take in life and in any business environment. We work with employees, leaders, and stakeholders to shift mindsets in order to strike the right balance.

What Our Clients Say
“It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Tricia. I have over 25 years of technology experience and have seen many professionals come and go. Tricia is one individual I have worked with who uniquely stands out. During our time together, Tricia displayed great talents in strategic OCM practices, organizing a large team, teaching, coaching, and most importantly excellent communication. Simply put, she stands out in a crowd, and it’s not just her OCM skills that impress me, however. Tricia is always a joy to work with because of her amazingly positive attitude, work ethic, and being a team player. Not only will she bring the kind of skills and experiences you’re looking for in a consultant, but she will also quickly become an asset and help your company grow in any way she can.”

“Sadly, not every professional is interested in making sure that they are right up to date with the latest research and thinking in their core area. However, Tricia is one of those rare people who takes their professional responsibilities and development seriously, and who mixes practical experience with proper evidence and research. Patricia is professional, knowledgeable and with a real concern for not only making sure that her work is evidence-based but that her deep knowledge is right up to date with the very latest research and evidence.”
