Who We Are
Founded in 1991, DS Cohen & Associates, we help our clients see the value of their people. We believe that organizations derive tremendous benefit from learning about and implementing leading-edge people practices within their companies. Our work with clients, from a strategic forward-focused perspective, ensures the growth of both their people and the company.
What We Do
Creating great companies starts with authentic values that drive compelling people practices, along with a strategic plan that moves the company toward its purpose/vision. We are committed to ensuring all of our clients have people processes customized to their needs and purposes. Our focus is how to successfully execute the business from the perspective of the employees. That will result in improving retention, development, and productivity through better people management.
About David
Dr. David S. Cohen, Ed. D. has a vision: organizations that thrive by living their values in good times and especially VUCA times. David earned a reputation as a contrarian consultant because he does not always follow what is popular in his chosen field. He works with other leaders, helping them understand what is and what is not necessary to build a healthy organization.
