Designing Performance Ecosystems, Since 1999
DeAnna R. Hanzel, Founder & Organizational Performance Architect
DeAnna has spent more than 25 years helping organizations improve performance through organizational design, business architecture, Lean Six Sigma, learning and development, talent strategy, leadership development, and large-scale transformation.
Working across these disciplines revealed an important pattern. Each offered valuable tools for solving performance challenges, yet many organizations continued to experience the same recurring frustrations despite significant investment and capable leadership.
That realization inspired the creation of Talent Ecosystem Innovations and the TEI Performance Design System—a practical framework that helps leaders identify the organizational conditions influencing results, uncover intentional design opportunities, and create stronger, more sustainable performance.
