What We Do
Organizational and leadership consulting services
We go beyond advice. Our team embeds with your organization as a trusted advisor, to resolve conflict, develop leaders, and build the kind of culture people don't want to leave.
Acquisitions and integration
M&A human capital assessment
Assess retention concerns, knowledge concentration, leadership relationships, and how work gets done below the executive layer. The engagement is scoped to your business questions and the employee access available.

Workplace Investigations
When a workplace concern requires formal fact-finding, the process should be scoped clearly and handled by a suitable, impartial investigator. Discuss the allegation, evidence, and reporting needs with us before an engagement.
David spent three decades conducting investigations and interviews where the stakes were about as high as they get. He knows how to run a structured interview, how to handle evidence so the chain holds, and how to stay neutral in a way that stands up to scrutiny later. Harassment, discrimination, retaliation, workplace violence - he's built to handle all of it, and to defend the work if it's ever questioned.
Follow-up organizational support
After fact-finding, an organization may need separately scoped leadership coaching, facilitated conversations, or support with working practices. We can discuss the follow-up support appropriate to the situation.
What happens after the investigation closes
That's where most of the real work actually is. A finished report doesn't fix a team. Someone still has to have the hard conversation with the manager. Someone still has to sit with a team that's rattled, or fix the policy gap that let this happen in the first place.
This is where Goto Solutions is different.
One Firm, Start to Finish
- Investigation: Led by David. A rigorous, neutral fact-finding process that gets to what actually happened.
- Findings Report: A clear, defensible Report of Findings handed directly to leadership.
- Findings Review: We walk leadership through the findings in plain language, then collaborate on recommendations grounded in both accountability and context.
- Manager Coaching: Where leadership behavior is part of the pattern, we coach the individuals directly responsible for changing it.
- Team & Culture Repair: Where trust has eroded, we rebuild it - through mediation, listening sessions, and structured psychological-safety work.
- Policy Fixes: Where the process itself enabled the problem, we redesign it so the same failure can't recur.
One firm. One throughline: disciplined accountability paired with genuine care - from the first interview to the last policy fix.

Workplace Conflict Strategist | Executive Support for Culture & Leadership
When conflict surfaces - between colleagues, across teams, or between an employee and leadership - it needs to be addressed quickly and professionally. We step in as a neutral, experienced third party to facilitate direct, productive conversations that get to the root of the issue and move everyone forward.
This isn't about who's right. It's about restoring trust, rebuilding communication, and protecting your organization from the cost of unresolved conflict - lost productivity, attrition, and legal risk.

- On-demand support for active disputes before they escalate
- Employee relations investigations and workplace assessments
- Documentation and structured resolution agreements
- Ongoing support for teams rebuilding after conflict
Leadership Development
Executive & Leadership Coaching
Leaders set the tone for everything. When a leader communicates poorly, makes decisions in isolation, or struggles to manage conflict - the entire team feels it. Our coaching is direct, practical, and grounded in real organizational dynamics.
We work with senior leaders, managers, and high-potential employees to sharpen how they communicate, handle difficult conversations, and show up for their teams - especially under pressure.
- One-on-one coaching for executives, directors, and managers
- Practical frameworks for difficult conversations and feedback
- Support for leaders navigating team conflict or culture challenges
- Accountability structures and measurable behavioral goals
- Integration with the Organizational Assessment for full organizational context
Organizational Assessment
Organizational Assessment
If you're seeing high turnover, disengagement, or friction that no one can quite name - the problem is usually cultural. Our Organizational Assessment is a structured, interview-based assessment that gives you an honest, data-informed picture of what's actually happening inside your organization.
We interview employees at every level - confidentially - and deliver a clear report identifying the root causes of your people challenges, along with a concrete action plan to address them.
- Confidential interviews across all levels of the organization
- Analysis of communication patterns, leadership gaps, and cultural friction
- Written report with findings and prioritized recommendations
- Action plan tailored to your organization's size, sector, and goals
- Optional follow-up support to implement recommendations
Executive Advisory
Employee Relations Consulting
Not every organization has the infrastructure to handle complex people challenges in-house. We provide senior-level counsel on a flexible, as-needed basis - stepping in when you need support with employee relations, performance management, or sensitive workplace situations that sit on an executive's desk.
Our team brings decades of experience across finance, public sector, and corporate environments. We know what a workplace investigation actually looks like. We know how to handle a bullying complaint. And we know how to advise leadership without creating more risk.
- Employee relations support and workplace investigations
- Performance management guidance and documentation
- Policy review and best-practice advisory
- Risk management for sensitive people situations
- Virtual and in-person support available
