Our Model |
To effectively compete in today's marketplace, your company
must evolve into a "learning organization"--one that continuously
adapts to an ever-changing and increasingly competitive
environment. Our model guides organizations through this
process using a customized approach combining facilitated
sensemaking, appreciative inquiry, and mixed methods
research. All our services, to varying degrees, use this
methodology.
Facilitated Sensemaking
The core of our consulting approach is based on helping
clients solve their own problems. We do this by
enabling insight at both a group and
individual level. This is quite different than the
often typical "guru" consulting approach which
usually only results in recommendations. Our
approach results in organizational ownership of
problems and solutions with dramatic outcomes.
Appreciative Inquiry
Our model brings out the best in
organizations by incorporating a process of
appreciative inquiry. Based on David Cooperrider's
original research at Case Western Reserve
University, we utilize a pragmatic approach which
emphasizes the “best of what is”, “what could be”,
“what should be”, and “how to”.
Mixed Methods Research
A mix of both qualitative and
quantitative data is collected and analyzed to both
support and inform all consulting projects. Most
projects require a heavier emphasis on either
qualitative or quantitative data, depending on
several variables and desired outcomes.
