Aboriginal and Management Services Overview

What We Do (What service do we provide to our Clients)

Planning MeetingFDMS Ltd. is a wholly owned Aboriginal consulting firm created in 1993 to respond to the expressed needs of Aboriginal individuals, organizations and communities. Over the course of time the company has recognized the importance of mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships and has embraced this opportunity to ‘bridge’ Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples recognizing that, “Together We Are Stronger.”

 

We strive to achieve three (03) primary goals:

1) To Establish a Collaborative Relationship

A collaborative relationship promises maximum use of people’s resources. It also spreads the responsibility for success or failure and implementation.

2) To Solve Problems So They Stay Solved

It is possible to act in a way that only the immediate problem gets solved. Knowledge transfer is critical to ensure clients become adept at problems solving and thus become more competent.

3) To Ensure Attention Is Given To Both The Technical Business Problem And The Relationships

Each situation has two (02) elements: the technical business problem that has to be resolved and the way people are interacting around the problem.

How We Do It (the Process)

Our process is interactive drawing upon the strength and experience of our clients in the design and delivery of interventions adapted to meet their needs. We draw upon current management techniques and blend these with our traditional teachings to create an approach that pays respect to our history while recognizing we operate in a modern world.

How Would Someone Benefit from Coming To Us

Clients benefit from our firms’ experience in the areas of facilitation, collaboration, motivation and navigation. We have a wealth of knowledge in the public, private and non-profit sectors that uniquely positions us to respond to the needs of our clientele.

We commit to:

1) Being as authentic as we can be at all times with our clients, and
2) Attending directly, in words and actions, to the business of each stage of the consulting process.
