Thrive! with Dr. Beth
While technology and process are key enablers of the KCS methodology, KCS is first and foremost about people and their behavior. KCS Coaches are the change agents within the support organization; they model and promote the behavior change required for a successful KCS adoption. The Aligned KCS Coach Development Workshop helps coaches learn the skills they need to encourage, inspire, and support change. Coaches become the change agents that help create momentum in a KCS adoption – or any critical organizational change strategy.

The Consortium’s designation of a service provider as Aligned is not a substitute for independent evaluation.
Buyers are responsible for conducting their own due diligence and determining whether the provider’s expertise, services, and capabilities, meet their specific needs and requirements.
