"I developed this model after almost two decades of corporate consulting with partnerships, teams and large corporate clients. It serves as a simple, five-step methodology to help any group establish their goals, work through their obstacles, identify their human capital issues and find the alternatives that are right for their group. Most importantly, unlike other consulting approaches, it gives guidance for specific steps on implementation," says Flaxington.

Diverse groups of people seeking ways to work together will benefit from this effective approach to identifying and overcoming obstacles as they create proven, workable and effective plans for success. This book provides sure-fire methods that will enable these groups to meet their objectives. Indeed, Beverly Flaxington's Make the SHIFT: The Proven Five-Step Plan to Success for Corporate Teams takes the guesswork out of steering toward success with step-by-step strategies that will place you on a positive track to success.

It is no surprise, therefore, that this book has been selected by Suffolk University in Boston MA for use in its Leadership and Social Responsibility course. This unique course was implemented under the guidance of Associate Dean Laurie Levesque of the Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University to "help undergraduates learn the importance and synergies of partnerships between for-profits and not-for-profits, with the hope in their future roles, they may build similar bridges," according to Associate Dean Levesque.

"This semester we are proud to use the change model with Cradles to Crayons and the Neponset Valley Humane Society as our featured not-for-profits," says Flaxington. "The model, as outlined in the new book, makes it so easy for a team to come together and work through issues in order to reach their most desired goals."

Associate Dean Levesque added, "The SHIFT Model™ is an effective process by which our student teams explore complex real-world challenges, develop solutions, and prepare implementation recommendations. It's an opportunity for our students to think as leaders and balance a not-for-profit's very real resource constraints with their organizational aspirations using this proven change model."
