Diagnose the complexity before attempting to solve it.
José Lara Portal helps executives, teams, and organizations accurately read what is really happening internally, before prescribing a solution.
My work starts from one conviction: you cannot intervene in what has not been rigorously diagnosed.
With doctoral training in Human Development and in Business Administration, I dedicate my professional practice to guiding executives, leadership teams, and entire organizations through coaching processes that combine organizational diagnostic tools with methodologies centered on human development.
That dual lens, the human and the administrative, is the foundation of the two models I apply with clients across different industries: MIDO (the Integral Model of Organizational Development) and MCDH (the Human-Development-Based Coaching Model).
Two models, one purpose: reading the organization with clarity.
Facing an environment of constant technological change and continuous shifts in knowledge management, José Lara Portal proposes a systemic, integral approach to diagnosing and developing organizational leadership.
Integral Model of Organizational Development
A structured response to the complexity organizations face today: a framework that supports adaptation and competitiveness amid constant change.
Human-Development-Based Coaching Model
A methodology and practical toolkit to diagnose and analyze leadership starting from the person, not only from the structure.
Strategy
Where the organization is headed and what resources it has to get there.
Structure
How work and decision-making are organized.
Culture
The assumptions and behaviors that sustain change.
Leadership
The capacity to sustain development over time.
The models, explained in depth.
