Planting the seeds more than 25 years ago to grow a different kind of strategic change and employee engagement consulting business, Root now employs more than 100 exceptionally talented people from all over the world. Our experience is significant. Our methods are unparalleled. And, our talent range is broad and as eclectic as the world of business itself: MBAs, instructional designers, artists, programmers, print specialists, graphic designers, strategy interpreters, writers, and educators.
We are led by Jim Haudan, CEO, founder and best-selling author of The Art of Engagement: Bridging the Gap Between People and Possibilities. Root practices what we preach. Our values inform who we are and what makes us different. We focus on servant leadership, creative excellence, stopping to have fun along the way, being authentic, delivering high levels of engagement, and making sure we give back to the communities where we live.
