Our approach focuses on you, the real-time dynamics of your interactions and efficacy of your decisions, rigorous research and practice. This is why we are impactful. It's a bit like changing the tires on a car while it is running, but we believe the only way you can see immediate "traction" for new ideas is to implement them in real time.

​

We are no shrinking violets.  We sit in your board meetings, we attend your team charettes, we listen, watch and engage. We make note of the dynamics in play, what behaviors you exhibit which may be unintentionally impeding your forward progress.  During a time of crisis, it is often the case that organizations ‘regress’ and fall back on old patterns that are familiar and ‘safe’ even if these patterns are unproductive.  We highlight and help you change those patterns.  

This focus on you, your teams, and org., is your launching pad for significant and lasting cultural change. 

​

As you work, we:

​

Observe

We engage in your board meeting discussions and observe and record your operational biases, your blind spots, what is keeping you ‘stuck’.  We gain your trust and then jump in – helping to highlight and break old non-productive patterns.  We will tell you what we see and how to fix it.

​

Guide

During our observation and after, we take the good, discard the unworkable, and mentor your leadership – pointing out better pathways.  Feelings of increased risk are addressed.

​

Urge

We do not sit by – but jump in and engage.  Emotions may run high - we can take it.  We have been there and lived through that.  When the ‘temperature’ in the room starts to rise, we know we are on the right path.

​

Train

Some leadership needs training in how to ‘find their voice’.  We provide that training.  Often the person in the back of the room who is the quietest has the most to offer.  We show you the benefit from hearing your entire team’s perspective.

​

Measure

Our clients ask:  How will we know when we get there?  We will show you how much faster you make decisions, how

your team engagements are more streamlined.  These are metrics we’ll show you how to measure and how they translate into more profitable business practices.
