The Black Elephant Group

The name starts with a question most organizations never fully answer: What is everyone seeing that no one is saying?

The Black Sheep represents the contrarian, the challenger, the outcast whose perspective turns out to be exactly what an organization needed. The Elephant in the Room represents the visible, unaddressed problems that quietly define an institution’s ceiling.

We are both. The Black Elephant Group is the firm that shows up different, speaks plainly, and refuses to walk past the obvious. We exist to help institutions name their challenges, build their solutions, develop their people, and equip their workforce, at every level.

Founded by Manomay Kidd, The Black Elephant Group draws on a powerful network of contributing experts — practitioners, facilitators, coaches, curriculum designers, workforce specialists
