On March 4th, 2011, the lab techs here at spark+plug were invited by Community and Senior Services for the County of Los Angeles to run a private experiment during their leadership retreat at The California Endowment in downtown Los Angeles.

In less than an hour, we immediately flattened the organizational hierarchy into eight equal groups and facilitated our elevator pitch game for the Leadership Team and more than 85 employees. 

Producing a buzz of ideas, solutions and recommendations for department consideration, each participant was given 60 seconds to make a pitch to their respective groups. Each of the eight finalists made a second pitch in front of the entire audience with a vote on the top three best pitches.

Community and Senior Services investigates abuse claims against our senior and disabled population. They provide nutrition and other life-enhancing services to seniors, employment services to adults and youth while working with employers in times of hiring and downsizing. Offering mediation services to avoid court filings, the Office of Ombudsman provides a professional and impartial means to solve complaints against the Sheriff’s Department and the Office of Public Safety.

Contact us if you want to add value and velocity to the creation of ideas, solutions, and recommendations for your group, company or employees?
