When your organization needs to create alignment or come to clear and difficult decisions, it helps to have expert facilitators guide the conversation.

Lively and productive discussion

When everyone needs to start moving in the same direction.

Workshops

We build custom exercises and discussions to ensure that everyone in the organization feels heard, understands how decisions will be made, and moves together toward alignment.

Focus Groups

We talk to groups of people to understand where they’re coming from, to test creative decisions, and build buy-in.

Staff Engagement

Often, departments aren’t truly communicating with each other. We put staff (and sometimes board members and other interested parties) at ease through an empathetic process.

Change Management

Branding and website redesigns often happen at the same time as other big changes in an organization. We become a seamless extension of your team to help bring empathy and passion to the processes of change already under way.

Surveys

When you want to get answers from a large number of people, surveys can be the way to go. We design and deploy custom surveys that get you quantitative and qualitative results.

Interviews

We’re great at speaking one-on-one with audience members and interested parties to understand deeply how they think and feel.
