We Believe
Our world needs brave purpose-driven organizations more than ever.
With all of the challenges happening on our planet, we need organizations like yours, doing work that matters, to thrive. Your staff, supporters, and stakeholders expect you to take risks, innovate and adapt.
When organizations have clarity of vision, strategy, and culture, they become unstoppable.
In an increasingly noisy and changing landscape, clarity and alignment cause organizations to come alive. There's nothing like an organization that is united and running in the same direction.
Bending the arc of history towards justice requires all hands on deck.
The call to a more just, equitable, and inclusive world is an invitation to all of us. We are better together. Great leaders and organizations harness their resources and actively ask for help in achieving their mission.
Our Approach
Humans first
We see the humans in the system and the people behind the processes. We know your organization is full of unique and diverse stories, perspectives, and lived experiences that matter. We aim to build meaningful relationships rather than provide a transactional service. We come alongside you and your team, leveraging human-centred design principles to facilitate vulnerability, connection, and creativity.
Curiosity by default
We model and create spaces for curiosity to help unlock new possibilities. While we have a broad range of expertise, we come as coaches and collaborators first. We consult widely and deeply, trusting there is deep insight and wisdom already within your organization and stakeholders. Our job is to help uncover and harness this collective imagination towards your mission.
Gravitation towards the hard parts
If it were easy, you would have done it already. We help with the gnarly strategic challenges and conversations. We do not shy away from difficult conversations. We help reimagine what’s next while being rooted in reality. We work with teams to help make the hard choices so they can thrive with clarity, direction, and unity.
Consultation as a craft
We are professionals committed to driving results. We make promises and keep them. We are client-focused, solution-oriented, and we have fun in the process. We love the art and science of bringing out the best in an organization, and we're constantly honing our methods for maximum impact.
