ABLE
Action Based Leadership Experience
​We work with the client organization to build a pipeline of proven, tested future leaders through an 18-24 month action learning process.
-
Real projects deliver real results to the organization while the technical, analytical, team, and change management skills of the participant are developed.
-
Upon completion, leaders are rotated out into the next assignment and replaced by the next round of future leaders.
-
Small brushfires of excellence then become major fires of organizational transformation.

Scott Martens is indispensable as a mentor and cares deeply about assisting veterans…I HIGHLY recommend him to navigate your next career endeavor!

When Carver County needed to partner with a Minnesota Carlson School of Management class, Scott Martens leapt at the chance to do so. He quickly scoped out the project, broke down our big goals into strategic and tactical assignments for 9 groups of students, and coached the class to deliver specific, actionable recommendations. He shepherded the project to conclusion in just 10 weeks! Throughout, Scott was pragmatic, focused on results, extremely collegial, candid, insightful, and flexible, among other things. The 9 final recommendations were a boon to the County. Scott always brings that same level of enthusiasm, energy, analytic insight, and creativity to the job at hand
