How we help
Services
Four ways BlissWorks helps mission-driven teams diagnose what isn’t working — and build what does.
01
Service
Organizational Consulting
Understanding why your team isn’t functioning as desired often means slowing down, taking the time to diagnose issues before rushing to solutions that won’t address root causes. But making that kind of time feels almost impossible in today’s pace of work and change. BlissWorks Consulting provides just-in-time support to diagnose issues and design tailored solutions to truly address the problems that need solving. With targeted strategies, BlissWorks gets to the heart of the issue, fast.
What’s included
- One-on-one interviews with key team members
- Short, repeatable, tailored diagnostic surveys
- Root cause analyses
- Clear prescriptions for solving performance issues

Instructional Design
Team performance issues rarely arise from the behaviors of one team member or the absence of a single skill. Often, performance gaps are multi-faceted and interconnected, arising from one or more of the following (adapted from Robert Mager):
Hill
A barrier to performance: missing tools or resources, a disincentive (like heaping more work on high performers), or policies and systems that inhibit optimal work.
Skill
A lack of knowledge of how to do the job. Training can solve this, but assessing the moment of learning need is critical to retention. Ninety percent of training delivered at the wrong learning moment is lost within days.
Will
A lack of motivation or connection to mission. Without the right motivations, workers give only a fraction of their ability, regardless of skill.
BlissWorks assesses your organization’s performance and builds solutions designed to solve the underlying issues, matching designs to the learner’s moment of need so learning sticks.
What’s included
- Careful consultation around the problem to solve
- Selecting the right interventions
- Matching solutions to learners’ moments of need
- Scaffolding to reinforce learning after the engagement ends

Training / Facilitation
Well-facilitated moments of learning can drive transformation — not only in skills and behaviors, but by coalescing the values that fuel our work. BlissWorks crafts transformative experiences by assessing both the technical skills your team needs and the adaptive challenges that fuel resistance to change.
What’s included
- Custom design geared to your objectives
- Learner-centered sessions built for engagement
- Activities that build on participants’ knowledge and lived experience
- Pre- and post-engagement activities to prime and retain learning
