What Susan Can Do for Your Organization
Susan Lakatos combines business expertise with creativity, psychology with mindfulness, and brings all four disciplines together to solve the complex problems facing businesses in today's highly interconnected and competitive global environment.
Comprehensive
Many organizational issues remain undiagnosed and untreated because their causes are complex and interdisciplinary, but the consultants brought into treat them are siloed and focused on a specific symptom. The result: root causes go undiscovered and unadressed, and problems keep coming back.
Innovative
Susan approaches business problems with the creativity and innovative thinking of a trained artist, but grounds her analysis in core business skills gained both in her MBA in Management from Columbia University and her more than 20 years working both in and with the most respected firms on Wall Street.
Insight
Susan has extensive insight into the people aspect of decisions, honed through formal training including an MA in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University. Her more than 25 years as a practitioner of meditation and mindfulness enables her to bring unique depth to her analysis, combining people with numbers, creativity with business constraints, to create a comprehensive and cohesive approach to the complex issues facing today's business.
Susan is able to look at an issue through all four facets -- business expertise, creativity, psychology and mindfulness -- to provide cutting-edge solutions to complex and challenging problems.
