Leadership Advisory services from CFI, powered by totus consulting
Leader development efforts produce best results when the Organisation is designed to be effective.
For over two decades totus has been dedicated to the cause of building and making organisations effective.
An organisation is effective when there is clear direction and aligned priorities. In an effective organisation all the elements like strategy, culture, structure, roles, and rewards reinforce each other. It is carefully created and regularly updated.
This is what founders, Boards and CEOs have constantly relied on totus to do.
Why This Matters Now
Given the turbulent world we live in, organisational effectiveness is transient and even elusive. Remaining effective is a constant endeavour.
In this context, organisational effectiveness becomes a necessary condition for effective leader development outcomes.
Our clients are calling on our support to create, review, and redesign all aspects of organisational effectiveness and, on that foundation, launch and sustain their leader development efforts.
Welcome to the totus – CFI leadership advisory practice which starts with insights and ends with impact.
For over twenty-five years, as a boutique firm, totus consulting (founded by Ganesh Chella) has been listening deeply, diagnosing carefully to enhance the effectiveness of client organisations.
For over twenty years, CFI, co-founded by Ganesh Chella, has partnered with organisations to unearth potential, inspire collaboration, and build leadership talent for future readiness through coaching-led learning journeys.
Given the growing demand for a full-stack leadership practice, we are delighted to announce that totus consulting will now power CFI’s leadership advisory practice.
With this integration, CFI will be able to offer clients the full spectrum of solutions to build leadership capacity, starting with advisory insight for organisation effectiveness and ending with impact from development.
What we can now help solve
We are now geared to work with CEOs, CHROs and leadership teams to address critical questions such as:
- Are we investing development resources in the right leadership segments?
- Do we have credible succession for mission-critical positions?
- Should we build or buy leadership capability?
- Is our organisation designed to be effective?
- Where must our culture be preserved – and where must it evolve?
- Which roles are truly pivotal and are they designed accordingly?
- What is our explicit talent philosophy and is it aligned to strategy?
- Are we clear about what ‘potential’ means in our context?
- What governance processes ensure that talent decisions yield results?

We recognise that no two organisations are the same. If you are navigating a leadership or organisational challenge that demands a thoughtful, bespoke and full-stack approach, invite us for a conversation.
We will work together to build something that talks to you.

Coaching is a practice.
Becoming a coach is a journey.
For over two decades, CFI’s Post Graduate Programme in Executive Coaching (PGPEC) has been that journey for more than 345 professionals choosing to make executive coaching a serious practice. It is a journey of personal growth as much as it is a journey of learning to coach - because the deeper we encounter ourselves, the more deeply we can work with others.
