DMA stands for Decision Making Accountability, which, means the company focuses on identifying clear accountability in both private and public sector organizations. It aims to build organizations, which deliver their mission effectively while at the same time enabling individuals in them to learn, grow and develop. DMA does this by ensuring that work adds value to the front line customer and to the work of others, via their tried and proven approach, known as Work Levels or Leadership Levels. This has led to assignments on organization design, potential assessment, leadership development, career planning and coaching, reward management and organizational effectiveness. DMA's solutions have been implemented in 20 industries, in addition to the public and voluntary sectors in about 100 countries.  More detailed information on the DMA approach is set out in Brian Dive’s books, The Healthy Organization (reprinted 2007)& The Accountable Leader (2008) - a copy of the latter will be given out to those attending the Leadership Alliance in November.
