We take an integral, appreciative, learning-oriented approach to organization development

Integral

"Integral" simply means whole. An integral approach is one that incorporates as many aspects of reality as possible.

Taking a comprehensive approach allows us to think through all relevant factors -- tangible and intangible, behavioral and emotional, individual and collective, cultural and systemic -- so we can "cover all the bases" as we address your most important questions.

This gives us a more complete picture of the situation, and a broader range of possible interventions from which to choose.

The work is customized for each client and draws from a wide range of theories, concepts and methods, including:

* Integral theory
* Appreciative inquiry
* Emotional intelligence
* Developmental psychology
* Intentional change theory
* Gestalt theory
* Systems thinking
* Whole-system change
* Complexity theory
* Learning theory

Appreciative

People perform best when they are "at purpose" -- working in alignment with their core values, strengths and passions -- and emotionally attuned with themselves and others.

Our positive, appreciative approach helps clients to know themselves profoundly, boldly envision the ideal future and develop the capacities needed to step into it.

Learning-oriented

Learning lies at the heart of any successful organizational change. Our aim is to develop individuals, teams and organizations so that they will continue to learn and grow after the consulting engagement is complete.

Action-inquiry, or learning while doing, is essential to this approach. Instead of "downloading" our expertise and solutions in a classroom setting, we work with clients to achieve their learning goals in the context of real work.
