How We Do It -- Overview
Designing a Process for You. We start by interviewing you, your leadership team, and an inclusive set of both internal and external stakeholders in order to determine the right scope of our work and the methodologies that will work best for your culture and issues. Click here for more.
Our Approach.
Using collaboration from beginning to end in an iterative process, we help:
Action Research. Designing a complete solution or implementing a program "as is" takes a lot of time and money--especially with multiple stakeholder groups. Only after a staggering implementation does the team see design flaws. So rather than building "the whole enchilada", we use an action research approach to inspire small, diverse groups of stakeholders to conduct many micro-experiments that not only gets stuff done (picks the low hanging fruit), but generates real-time co-learning that ultimately allows for a faster, better end result.

Performance Training. People learn by doing. We train the same way--teach the key principles, coach people through real-life applications, and collectively debrief learning. In the end, our training leads to a community of practice where participants continue to work together to learn and practice the principles of facilitation leadership. Click here for more.
Group Facilitation Principles. Everything we do relies on collaboration--from designing our scope of work as consultants in collaboration with you, to training design in collaboration with those to be trained, to the building of collective solutions or plans. And though sometimes chaotic, there is a method to our work (some call it "chaordic"--a blend of chaos and order). Click here for more.
- An inclusive "design team" set the framework,
- Diverse stakeholders take ownership, and
- Many micro-experiments generate team co-learning that guides further project development.
