Is your organization where you want it to be? It all starts with YOU, your people, and their alignment to your strategic outcomes and heart-felt desires. NOT YOUR TYPICAL CONSULTING FIRM Progressive Management Associates (PMA) differs from other consulting firms. Our communication style is honest, direct, and straightforward. We believe communication is the key behavior that drives organizational success and achievement, so we tell it like it is — not necessarily what you want to hear. Founded in 2000 by Stuart Friedman, PMA has worked with hundreds of satisfied clients in a variety of industries ranging from professional service firms, manufacturers, and distributors; to publishers, software companies, and insurers and health care providers. PMA guides you through the unknown so you can move forward with certainty as you create a common framework from which your team can communicate effectively and achieve. We seek to boost the Relevance Factor™ in your active communication behavior so that staff at all levels hear 100% of your message. PMA's mission is to maximize performance by quantifying and factually measuring your company's "human dynamic" (the skill sets, communication styles, and leadership qualities of people at all levels of your organization). As a result, PMA provides our clients insight around the specific traits and behaviors of their leaders and teams—critical knowledge and understanding that others may not perceive.
