Maya Townsend, founder and lead consultant of Partnering Resources, helps clients form an accurate picture of current challenges, imagine possibilities for the future, and mobilize energy for change. She specializes in helping technology leaders identify the hidden web of relationships that drive organization performance, build internal and external alignment, and reach across the white spaces to develop solutions that stick.
A presenter and author on organizational complexity, Maya believes that today’s technology organizations require different thinking and competencies than in the past. Highly intuitive, analytical, and imaginative, she works at all levels, from CEO to line worker, to develop the relationships, ideas, connections, and interdependencies that shift an organization to the next level of productivity and performance. Her style is participatory and she partners closely with clients through a collaborative process of discovery, design, implementation, and evaluation.
Over the past 12 years, Maya has facilitated over 3500 people in groups of 3 to 130. Recently, she designed and led a strategic planning and goal setting process that resulted in an organization 100% focused, committed, and mobilized to achieve its purpose, strategies, and goals. She developed an employee feedback and alignment process for a technology organization that surfaced twelve key improvement plans. She helped a human resources division identify and map all 760 organizational tasks to their accountable functions and helped leaders develop 30 action plans to address critical infrastructure issues.
