Smarter systems & stronger teams.

EJ Intelligence is a strategy consulting firm helping small- to mid-size businesses improve their outcomes — blending organizational strategy with a deep understanding of people.

Strategy in action.

Every successful business runs on a clear strategy and people who care about making it happen. But over time, things can get messy. Whether it’s team friction, unclear roles, strategy drift, or more, you can turn to us. We help businesses make sense of their organization and their people so everything starts clicking again. You don’t need all the answers, just a place to start: Let’s talk.

Here are a few examples of our subject matter expertise:

Often overlooked, this service focuses on surfacing the skills, gaps, and behavioral patterns across your teams. We work with you to define core capabilities, map them to roles or business units, and recommend interventions.

About EJ Intelligence.

We work with clients at moments of inflection. Growth has outpaced structure, teams are stretched thin, or decisions are starting to stall. Other times, everything looks fine on the surface, but momentum is slipping and it's hard to pinpoint why. You’ve tried to solve it internally, but now you need clarity, structure, and a partner who can help you move forward - with your people and strategy aligned.

We specialize in organizational and workforce strategy. From executive workshops and operating model design to social network analysis and employee listening systems, we bring a thoughtful mix of strategic insight, facilitation, and data-driven tools.

Founded by Emma Joy Iezzoni, EJ Intelligence blends real-world experience with research-backed methods. Emma brings deep experience across financial services, healthcare, government, and nonprofit sectors - advising leaders on everything from organizational redesign and workforce analytics to AI adoption and strategic planning. She is SHRM-SCP certified, will hold an MBA with a specialization in AI & Machine Learning, and regularly lectures on leadership, AI, and the future of work.

While Emma leads every engagement, she draws on a trusted network of scientists, researchers, and domain experts to tailor solutions to each client’s unique context. If your team is navigating complexity, we’d love to help you move forward - with clarity, confidence, and a strategy that works.

From strategy to structure, here’s our approach:

  • Discover it.

    Every project starts by listening. We want to understand your concerns and your goals from your perspective and your team’s. That could include some senior stakeholder interviews, a survey, deeper organizational analysis of your data, academic research, or reviewing what you've already done.

  • Design it.

    Then, we shape a solution that fits. That could be a single workshop, strategic coaching, a team offsite, or a full-blown organizational redesign. We don’t over-engineer things. We want our designs to make a lasting impact for both your long term outcomes and your people.

  • Deliver it.

    When it’s time to act, we deliver clear, usable tools. That could be an operating model, an engagement plan, or a simple workshop recap with action steps. And we don’t disappear after the project’s over: every engagement comes with 30 days of follow-up support to make sure the work sticks.
