Our Approach

Our goal is to intervene in organizations and systems that are in a state of flux in order to help leaders identify, commit to and put into practice truly sustainable options for the future. The shape of each consulting engagement is unique, arising from the client’s needs and circumstances.

In most cases, our initial role is to host conversations that allow individuals and groups to:

Understand as deeply as possible their current situation and the sets of agreements that created it
Listen to their own intuitive voices that are often silenced by the pace of daily life and the given structure of “the way things are”
Ask: What if? What if we could create the most effective and inspiring solution for all concerned? What would that look like?
Explore the agreements that would need to be made in order to set the stage for that possibility
Develop their capacities to make the new agreements, especially the capacities for for deep listening, dialogue and making changes in their thinking and behavior

Once the initial analysis and future vision are created, we then move to the phase of practical execution, during which we help clients to:

Build relationships and alliances among stakeholders that will enable effective collaboration
Commit to agreements that reflect the highest values of all stakeholders and the greatest leverage for success
Put the agreements into action through clear strategies and plans, formulated with a view to how the whole system works
Develop the necessary internal culture and skills of leadership and teamwork
Take responsibility for the on-going revitalization of their relationships, agreements and strategies
