The new practice combines Blanchard’s leadership expertise with Corentus’s proven team effectiveness capabilities to help organizations build highly collaborative, productive, and results-oriented teams.
SAN DIEGO, CA — October 6, 2026 — Blanchard®, a global leader in leadership development, consulting, and coaching, today announced the launch of its Team Effectiveness Practice, expanding the company’s ability to help organizations improve how teams work together to execute priorities and achieve stronger business results.
The practice builds on Blanchard’s integration of Corentus and welcomes globally recognized team effectiveness experts Janice and Alexander Caillet. For more than 25 years, they have helped executive and cross-functional teams worldwide strengthen alignment, improve decision making, navigate complexity, and accelerate collective performance. Their research-informed methodologies and practical consulting approach have helped organizations transform how teams collaborate to achieve business results. Together with Blanchard’s decades of leadership development expertise, their team effectiveness experience creates a more comprehensive approach to developing exceptional leaders, high-performing teams, and stronger organizational effectiveness.
“Organizations succeed when great leaders are supported by teams that know how to align around priorities, navigate complexity, and execute together,” said Scott Blanchard, CEO of Blanchard. “Janice and Alexander have spent their careers helping organizations unlock the performance of teams. Bringing their expertise to Blanchard expands our ability to help clients strengthen the teams where strategy becomes action and business results are achieved.”
At the center of the new practice is the Team Effectiveness Experience, a tailored consulting engagement that helps teams improve how they work together around their most important business priorities. Through assessment, facilitated dialogue, team coaching, and practical consulting, Blanchard helps teams identify patterns that limit performance and build the capabilities and tools needed for stronger collaboration, deeper trust, more effective decision making, greater mutual accountability, and improved business results.
“Senior leadership teams are made up of leaders who lead teams of their own, so when we elevate the performance of one team, the impact can cascade across an organization,” said Janice Caillet, Co-Head of the Team Effectiveness Practice at Blanchard. “Over our careers, we’ve seen those better ways of working and achieving together extend beyond the workplace, positively impacting families, friends, and communities. We’re thrilled to bring that same capacity for impact to Blanchard and its clients.”
Organizations today are navigating accelerating change, AI adoption, and increasingly cross-functional ways of working. While developing individual leaders remains essential, lasting business success depends on teams that can align around priorities. The Blanchard Team Effectiveness Practice helps leaders and their teams build these capabilities in practical, time-efficient ways that respect leaders’ time and create lasting change. By focusing on what matters most to each team, Blanchard helps them work better together and achieve stronger results.
