There Is No Such Thing as a Free Launch!
One of the things I've enjoyed about working with The NemetzGroup is the exposure to so many organizations and the amazing work they are doing for patients. We are fortunate to work with clients of all sizes, whose products are at various stages of their life cycle.

Making Virtual Workshops Work
Workshops, whether in the form of a half-day strategy session, a company-wide offsite or some other configuration, have one thing in common: They represent an opportunity for a group of people to come together in real time — to establish connections, share information, generate solutions, and achieve clear objectives. When done well, they are more than just meetings — they are highly structured, interactive, rewarding, and dare I say, fun!

Where Are Decisions Made in Your Organization (And Why Does It Matter)?

The Sound of Organizational Silos
We have all heard about it; some of us have lived it firsthand. A vibrant, new start-up comes to life with energy and purpose. Everyone knows one another; everyone works together towards a common goal. Communication happens on the fly, informally, at all hours of the day and night. It’s fast and it’s fun — we are a tight group, proud of what we are building.
