Common Ground Adventures, Inc. was founded in 1989 in Upstate New York by Lillian Hewitt, owner.  In the early years of the business, the focus of her work was team development. Lillian built a strong track record of team success by consistently putting her finger on the pulse of what would be required to achieve higher team performance and then designing and delivering customized adventure-based interventions to achieve results.

In the past ten years we have grown from a one consultant firm to an organization that has delivered training, coaching and management consulting services in almost every state of the USA.  In 1998 the corporation formed a dba Common Ground Associates to signify the development of our services, which have evolved to include the delivery of traditional training and consulting in response to meeting the needs of our long term customer base.

Common Ground Associates, a change management consulting firm, is dedicated to helping organizations:

• Manage change
• Develop leaders and teams
• Strengthen relationships and retain quality employees
• Improve decision making processes
• Commit to action
• Achieve organization goals quickly and with quality

Each member of our Senior Consulting Team has significant prior experience as a manager in a complex organizational setting.  This exposure, plus theoretical knowledge and strong communication skills, contributes to a consulting team that possesses credibility, wisdom, and the humility to know that managing a change process is rarely “by the books.”

We are a group with a wide range of work experiences, including manufacturing, sales, education, finance, healthcare, facility operations and telecommunications. Our proven track record with clients encompasses even a broader industry span, as well as service to all levels of staff - from the shop floor to the boardroom. And, our personalities are every bit as diverse as yours!
