OCM

What OCM does

OCM (Organizational Consultants to Management) is a U.S. career transition and leadership development consulting firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a regional headquarters in Boise, Idaho and additional offices in Reno, Nevada. It operates as the Intermountain West regional partner of Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH), which is itself part of the Adecco Group; through LHH, OCM gains global delivery reach across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa. The firm organizes its offering around two service lines: Career Transition (one-on-one consultation, resume branding and development, separation planning, an entrepreneurship program recognized as a Top Ten HR Product by Human Resource Executive, and active retirement options) and Leadership Development (executive coaching, succession planning, and change management). Delivery is hybrid, combining proprietary career portal access and ATS-optimized resume formats with virtual and onsite coaching.

The business is enterprise B2B: employers purchase programs on behalf of affected or developing employees, with program lengths ranging from 30 days to 12 months depending on employee level and company policy. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer logos span technology (eBay, Microsoft, DigitalGlobe), financial services (Fidelity, Charles Schwab), aerospace (NASA), mining/oil & gas (Chevron, Newmont), healthcare (Stanford Research Institute, Centura Health, Kaiser), automotive (General Motors), and hospitality/sports (Wynn Resorts, Las Vegas Raiders). The firm reports 15K+ satisfied clients, 250K+ success stories, and claims participants land new roles up to 50% faster than market norms, while executive coaching is positioned around a 788% ROI based on a third-party Metrix Global study.

OCM is led by CEO Ted Diven, who assumed the role in 2023 following the death of his father Greg Diven (President & CEO for 25+ years). The leadership bench includes VP/Regional GMs, a VP/Director of Coaching, a recently hired Director of Sales & Growth, and a bench of certified executive coaches and senior consultants with prior HR leadership roles at companies such as Kellogg, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Hewlett-Packard, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts, and the Las Vegas Raiders. The firm has no public funding, no APIs, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities; growth levers are the LHH distribution channel, the new productized RIF Readiness Kit, and a build-out of the sales function under the new CEO.
