What Goal solutions does

Goal Solutions is a privately held leadership and organizational consulting firm that provides services in strategic organizational change, leadership assessment, training and development, team building, and HR consultancy. The company was established in July 2010 when it was spun off from Tak Arsh Engineering Industries, where its leadership and organizational behavior division had operated since 1994. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, with a regional office in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the firm serves enterprise clients across ten verticals including banking, oil and gas, construction, energy and utilities, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, civil defense, information systems, sports engineering, and telecommunications.

The company's core offerings are organized into two service modules: Testings (encompassing Lean & Six Sigma, Psychometric Testing, and 360-Degree Feedback assessments) and Leadership Assessment, supplemented by broader consulting in strategic organizational change, inter-organizational communication, and cross-cultural awareness training. The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; instead, it applies established organizational behavior methodologies through a multilingual consulting team fluent in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, and German.

Goal Solutions operates a professional services revenue model based on project-based and retainer consulting engagements with enterprise clients, sold through direct consultative engagement. The company is founder-led by Managing Director Mitra Arshi, with no disclosed external institutional investors, funding rounds, or technology platform investments.
