Evolving Extraordinary Organizations
thru the Spirit and Practice of Community

What We Do

• Your organization has within it the knowledge and wisdom to excel.
• The people in your organization want to make a positive impact on the organization and want to feel good about their contribution.
• Traditional "command and control" hierarchies no longer serve your organization or the people in it.
• The most exquisite outcomes for your organization - effective strategies, quality relationships, and honorable decision-making - emerge out of a co-creative process of rich meaningful dialogues.
• The path towards your organization's excellence does not have to be painful or arduous, but in fact, the transformation should be liberating and affirming.

Our approach and tools are based on these core beliefs. The result is that your organization reaches its potential because it taps into the collective wisdom of all its stakeholders and comes together around a passionate purpose grounded in the spirit and practice of community.

How We Do It

• We guide you in exploring your increasingly rugged environmental landscape to discover and engage all stakeholders in a "Living Strategysm" that leads you down the path to success, in its deepest, broadest sense, where everyone contributes to the benefit of all.
• We offer tools, including: knowledge resources, process and conversational methods, training, coaching, and technology advice and design.
• We act as master facilitators and deep dialogue partners to help leaders engage in meaningful, connected conversations. These conversations start among themselves and gradually spread outward in ever-widening circles that eventually engage its stakeholders in the co-creation of a culture embodying their shared purpose and sense of community.
• We help create extraordinary events. From strategic planning sessions to staff outings and from leadership training to Board retreats, we develop organizational events that are very different from the traditional ones you have experienced. In addition to being participatory and enjoyable, they are transformative. These events assist in promoting cultural and behavioral changes, new decision-making relationships and processes, and innovative strategies that have a life far beyond the event itself.
