KMS Solutions, LLC Human Capital Development


KMS Solutions offers a full-range of professionally facilitated services that benefit individuals, teams and organizations.  KMS helps individuals develop core skills, teams to create positive and productive environments, and organizations to achieve their goals.  With a team of certified facilitators KMS provides group team building, leadership skills development and leadership performance coaching.

Our programs are fun, insightful, and used successfully by both commercial company leadership teams and federal government agencies to build better leaders and more productive work environments. Group programs can be customized into sessions that are
½ to 3 days in length.

The KMS catalog of services includes the following programs:

DiSC® Personality Style and Behavior Model Team Building Program

The foundation of effective leadership and followership is grounded in understanding oneself, understanding others, and realizing the impact of behavior on other team members.  KMS Solutions utilizes the DiSC® Personality Style and Behavior Model to reveal a profile of each team member's behavior.  The DiSC® model is based on a four-quadrant approach that reliably describes four styles of human behavior.

Dominance (D) -- Shaping the environment by overcoming opposition and challenge

Influence (i) -- Shaping the environment by persuading and influencing others

Steadiness (S) -- Achieving stability, accomplishing tasks by cooperating with others

Conscientiousness (C) -- Working within circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy

Certified KMS facilitators guide groups through interpreting their individual profile and learning about the styles of others.  Through dynamic interactive exercises, members experience their styles as they participate in a variety of situations, and have the opportunity to adjust behaviors to improve team effectiveness.

Upon completion of the 2-day program, team members have been exposed to a variety of subject matter that assists them in the ability to:

  • Communicate more effectively.
  • Increase creativity and innovation skills.
  • Manage conflict more effectively while achieving a win-win outcome.
  • Recognize effective leadership practices and learn ways to use them.
  • Build collaboration, teamwork and trust.
  • Acknowledge the accomplishments of others.

Generation Exploration Program

KMS facilitators address the potential conflicts inherent in the workplace when upwards of four generations (Generations Y, X, Baby Boomers, and Traditionalists) are working side-by-side.  Generational differences can affect everything, including recruiting, building teams, dealing with change, motivating, managing, and maintaining and increasing productivity.  Think of how generational differences, relative to how people communicate, might affect misunderstandings, high employee turnover, team productivity, difficulty in attracting employees and maintaining employee motivation.

Upon completion of the ½-day program, team members have been exposed to a variety of subject matter that assists them in the ability to:

  • Understand the factors that molded the generations' perspectives, and impacted their views of their roles in the workplace.
  • Understand generation-based beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes that can result in workplace misunderstandings and conflict.
  • Implement conflict mitigation strategies by leveraging generational expectations.

"Save the Nation" Teambuilding Exercise

This teambuilding exercise, which takes place on the National Mall in Washington, DC, can be used as a capstone event to reinforce both the KMS DiSC® and Generation Exploration programs or as a stand alone teambuilding event as part of an organizations' leadership retreat.

"Save the Nation" reinforces teamwork based on the DiSC® four-quadrant Model as a dynamic and interactive exercise (either an indoor or outdoor version).  Team members are provided a high energy opportunity as they move from smaller to larger teams to practice and reinforce the key elements of successful teamwork.  The exercise allows each participant to experience collaboration, networking, effective communications, leadership, followership, behavior control under pressure, and conflict resolution through multiple changes in team structure and goals.

Upon completion of the exercise, the KMS facilitators take the team through a post-exercise debrief providing each member an opportunity to discuss their accomplishments, as well as talk through how they dealt with the inherent frustrations relative to solving the problem while moving from smaller to larger teams.

Upon completion of the 1-day training, team members have been exposed to a variety of subject matter that will assist them in the ability to:

  • Recall and employ behaviors and activities related to successful teamwork, to include leadership, followership, and conflict resolution in solving the problem.
  • Work to overcome personality or generational differences as may be discovered in the DiSC® profile or generation exploration programs.
  • Better employ personal and team communication skills.
Executive Coaching

KMS builds customized mentor-protégé programs that help leaders be more successful.  Our cadre of mentors are particularly skilled at helping former senior military leaders successfully make the transition from military leader to business executive.
