Crossroads, the Company

Founded in 1986, Crossroads Consulting offers guidance and facilitation in the following areas: 

• Strategy                                           • Ethics

• Governance                                     • Partnering & Alliances

• Virtual Organizations

Spanning more than twenty different sectors, Crossroads’ clients have included multinational joint ventures, corporations, institutes, governments and non-profit associations across Canada, the U.S.A., and the Caribbean. The company draws upon a wide range of associates from the business and academic communities, as projects require. Most programs are custom designed.  

Although he is a Certified Management Consultant (CMC) with an MBA in the Management of Technology, Crossroads' founder and principal consultant, Larry Colero, considers himself a professional generalist. His primary skill is in helping disparate groups find agreement, e.g., by facilitating strategic planning or project planning sessions using both low and high-tech tools.

Larry's Corporate Integrity Checkup was profiled in Newsweek and is now widely used by businesses and academia. His Framework for Universal Principles of Ethics has been used by UN-HABITAT, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Citizenship & Immigration Canada, and many schools, universities, hospitals, and professional associations across the United States, in Europe, Russia, China, Africa, and the Middle East.

Larry's programs promote peer-based learning, which he refined over ten years teaching graduate and executive level classes in Ethics at both the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. He also created and led Strategic Alliances seminars for UBC, and was Moderator for the first two years of UBC's Summer Institute in Sustainability.

Larry also offers Project Partnering facilitation and planning services to the engineering/construction sector. He was with a multinational engineering firm for eleven years before consulting for local projects such as the Sea-to-Sky Highway, Kelowna & Vernon Hospital expansions, Little Mountain Reservoir reconstruction, and the last six expansions to YVR (Vancouver Airport Authority).

Larry also consults with boards, advisory groups and professional associations, and served for more than ten years as a director on various corporate and non-profit boards. He established and continues to develop a virtual infrastructure for the Institute of Advanced Financial Planners (Canada) as their part-time Executive Director. Larry has often been quoted in business media such as Investor's Business Daily and CFO Magazine. His article Five Questions Corporate Directors Should Ask (2002) has been republished in the U.S., China, Europe and throughout South America.
