About us
TOGETHER WE TRANSFORM CHALLENGES INTO PROGRESS
Experience has shown us that organizational change is not only necessary, but possible. And this goes hand in hand with a leadership that has a purpose, acts with commitment, and listens and involves others. We have seen it in our clients. We have experienced it. We want it for our society.
Our History
CLA Consulting was founded in 2005 in Latin America as an extension of the work developed in the United States a few years earlier through Cambridge Leadership Associates, a consulting firm founded by Harvard University professors Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky, who for years had been researching and writing about adaptive leadership. This alongside the support of Juan Carlos Eichholz and other academics and consultants from different countries was extended to an adaptive model of organizational change.
Over time, CLA Consulting developed increasingly robust methodologies, consolidated an experienced international team, and established offices in Chile, Peru, Colombia and Australia, and the United States, Spain and Brazil with more than 50 consultants.
