Working with communities
Values-Based Emergent Facilitation
When community members are guided to find and incorporate shared values and their unique skills, accelerated decision-making grows and dissent turns into safe-enough-to-try.
Holistic Systems Mapping
Mapping complexity within a community dedicated to collaboration and innovation helps identify critical points for robust solution-making that otherwise would not reveal itself. Complex systemic challenges are shaped by the interaction of multiple contexts—the economy, nature, politics, culture, technology, etc. To effectively address such challenges, we have to understand the transcontextual interdependence.
Diverse Stakeholder Engagement
Promoting equity through diverse stakeholder involvement unlocks unique insights for exceptional solutions and strengthens the web of community resilience and enduring impact in turbulent times.
Complex Large Scale Implementation Projects
Coming in from the outside telling people what to do simply doesn’t work. Setting up an environment where people, or organizations within a large scale project experience belonging, agency and flow invites a spirit of co-creation, innovation and solutions orientation not yet common in today's culture but proving critical for these times. We put wind under local transformational leader's wings.
Values Aligned Funding Pathways
Clearly aligning funders with a community’s shared values enhances funders enthusiasm, helping them target ways to amplify positive impact through their financial support. Community benefits by ensuring financial sources foster harmonious synergy for uncommon abundance and reduced mismatched goals.
Designing for Body, Mind, Spirit
Project Design that prioritizes wellbeing and inner growth of participants fosters trust and engagement. We source lessons in potentially divisive issues and help people see conflict as a path to breakthrough. Centering on inspiration and internal growth, creates meetings and gatherings that serve as proving grounds to accelerate change. People report finding joy, learning-in-action, and greater effectiveness, an uncommon approach in today's initiatives.
