When Are You the Right Consultant for Me?
Our Approach
Since we work alongside our clients, it’s good to know the character and capabilities of our team. Here’s a summary of how we work:
Learning and Collaboration
We are active listeners, practical thinkers, and thoughtful visionaries. We don’t presume to know the answers; in fact, we prefer to build an understanding along with you and collaborate towards solutions. We appreciate our clients for their impact, while we also encourage and equip them to embrace new ideas.
Field Cognition
We are familiar with challenges such as unpredictable and restricted funding, modest board engagement, and misperceptions about social impact work. We craft ideas with this context in mind. To help decision-makers, we ask insightful questions and share suggestions that reflect our local and global roles across sectors.
Team Communication
We make conversations fun, lively, and energizing. We share stories. We use drawings, photos, analogies, and objects to generate ideas. We sprinkle in humor. We bring optimism to meetings, design sessions, and courses. We love to meet passionate leaders who bring warmth and empathy to their callings.
