| Our Clients
We
put our strengths and expertise to work for you.
Metaforix brings
these key strengths to your project:
- Vision:
We apply big-picture, systems-oriented thinking to the issues you face.
We help you synthesize existing strengths in new ways to address emerging
challenges.
- Leadership:
We believe that risk-taking, a strong work ethic, and continuous professional
and personal growth are critical to your success. We model these qualities
and help you to recognize the same qualities within yourself. We encourage
you to become a mentor to colleagues, staff, and others in your personal
and professional communities.
- Communications:
We work collaboratively with you to identify and refine your message,
tailoring it to the media that will deliver it and the audiences you
want to reach. Our goal is to make your communications professional,
memorable, and consistent.
- Innovation:
New ideas and creative solutions exist within you and within your organization.
The trick is to bring them to light. We facilitate a "safe space" for
brainstorming and problem-solving that allows tacit knowledge to emerge.
We help you synthesize the collective wisdom that results from this
process and use it to design, implement, manage, and evaluate new programs
in response to client needs.
Metaforix has developed
special knowledge and expertise in a variety of skills and disciplines:
- Writing and
editing: We create and edit all kinds of text, from proposals to
poetry. We design e-mail
newsletters and associated Web site content to meet our clients'
immediate needs and produce additional content on an ongoing basis.
Alternatively, we collaborate with clients on the initial design and
then teach them to produce new content on their own.
- Research:
Internet research
is our specialty -- doing it and teaching other people how to do it,
effectively, efficiently, and successfully. Besides using the Internet
to assemble literature summaries and reviews, we conduct needs assessments,
program evaluations, and other qualitative research projects.
- Interactive
healthcare : Healthcare
on the Web --often called e-health -- magnifies the issues
of privacy, trust, and quality that accompany the growth of the Internet
as a whole. E-health services have significant ramifications in such
areas as ethics, law, doctor/patient relationships, medical research,
public policy, and employee morale. We are prepared to help you address
the impact of e-health services in a workplace or personal context.
(We do not offer legal or medical advice.)
- Education and
training for working adults: With over
25 years of hands-on experience and academic training, we are uniquely
equipped to help you sort through the complex and rapidly-changing array
of educational choices available to organizations and individuals. Businesses,
educational institutions, professional associations, nonprofits, and
individuals have taken advantage of our expertise to design, implement,
evaluate, refine, or purchase educational
services to meet their specific needs.
- Women's issues
and workplace diversity: We take pride in our ability to apply both
practical and academic knowledge to issues affecting special populations
in the workplace. We have planned and implemented constructive interventions
to address diversity and inclusiveness, sexual harrassment complaints,
work/life balance, educational and professional development options,
mentoring, skills self-assessment, self-presentation, body image and
personal style, and related areas of employee development, management,
and public policy.
