Description

Co-founded in 1991 by Don Colabella, a former executive with a number of major New York City contractors and his daughter Chris, whose background is in finance, Construction Information Systems (CIS) has been the Northeast’s leading online provider of project information for the construction industry for more than two decades. We worked closely with the family to clarify next stage personal and professional goals, shift and articulate roles and support a smooth generational transition as Chris, the President of CIS, assumed the lead on all company operations, strategic planning and new product development.

“I have seen Melanie in action for over 20 years across multiple continents. Her energy is boundless as she relentlessly expands the application of her expertise and thus her intellectual, personal and social impact. I have admired her as a speaker, pioneering researcher, and facilitator in some of the most remote and complex situations. Melanie has a unique ability to work across cultures and deliver data to drive social policy. She is empowering people around the world to be leaders as she is gifted in highlighting the best in each person individually and is able to connect and create groups that magnify results.

“Melanie has been a trusted advisor of mine for over 15 years. Her ability to facilitate complicated conversations so that people from diverse perspectives converge on a shared solution is quite impressive.

As experts in human behavior, we combine business acumen, global experience and psychological expertise to generate solutions that are practical, yet distinct from traditional management consulting. We provide sophisticated analyses informing negotiations, due diligence, and talent management. Specializing in group dynamics, we facilitate strategic meetings and recover relationships from breaches of trust.

YC Media has worked with some of the biggest names in the food world. Our initial engagement centered on separating the book and publishing relations operations so that they complemented each other, and on developing distinct yet synergistic growth strategies for each of the separate businesses. Several years later, we returned to advise on next stage growth as the company was poised to expand its public relations business yet again and the number of new employees had increased significantly.
