ALA gives tailored advice, guidance and support to managers involved in implementing change. Our aim is to help our clients to be world class. We accept only those assignments in which we believe we can make a positive contribution and which can realistically be progressed within the budgets and time scales available. All our programmes are designed to satisfy our client's specific needs. We work closely with our Japanese counterparts, Chu-San-Ren in Nagoya to offer, in conjunction with them, tailored study tours in Japan and specialist consultancy 'in company' programmes on Japanese management methods.

We use a four step model to deliver our consultancy services:-

1. Problem identification - we use tailored diagnostic instrument to identify the real problems impacting your performance.
2. Develop a solution - we develop problem specific solutions
3. Implementation - we use action learning based methodologies to help you to solve your own problems thus ensuring a) acceptance of the solutions and b) that the expertise is left behind in your organisation.
4. Review - we help you to capture the learning and determine the next steps in the development process.
