Case Study

PAR Technology & Data Central · Say What You Mean Workshop

A remote Customer Success team. Real communication challenges. A program built for both.

The Customer Success team at PAR Technology & Data Central wanted more than a team-building day. They needed a program that would strengthen remote connections, build genuine communication skills, and give their people tools they could use in the work they do every day with clients.

The Challenge

Remote team. Real gaps.

  • Building genuine connection across a distributed team

  • Developing each person’s understanding of their own communication style

  • Translating those insights into day-to-day client relationships

The Approach

Built from a discovery. Not off the shelf.

The program was recalibrated to increase connection-building exercises and directly tie insights to client interaction scenarios.

The Outcome

Connection that outlasted the room.

  • On-site workshop received rave reviews from leadership and team members

  • Increased sense of belonging among remote team members

  • Meaningful application to day-to-day client work

  • Inside jokes from the program carried through the rest of the week, a real signal of connection

Consulting & Assessment

Diagnosing the Challenges, Creating Strategies for Change

Great organizations are built with intention. This assessment gives you an honest, structured look at your culture, your team dynamics, and what’s actually shaping how your people work — so you can build from a place of clarity rather than assumption.

Team Assessment

Organizational & Cultural Assessment

A structured assessment of your organization’s culture, communication patterns, and team health. Designed for corporate teams, people and culture leaders, and leadership groups who want clear, actionable insights — not a summary report that validates what they already know.

The program was recalibrated to increase connection-building exercises and directly tie insights to client interaction scenarios.

Tier 1: Foundation

Surveys, one team debrief session, and a written summary report

Tier 2: Comprehensive

Surveys, individual stakeholder interviews, full analysis, and a presentation of findings

Tier 3: Culture Deep Dive
