Strategic Planning

A clear, compelling strategy is the foundation of your organization’s success. But strategies often lose steam once they get recorded. Our traditional-with-a-twist approach prevents this pitfall by building engagement, collaboration and a shared commitment. The tangible result is success across time. Whether it’s a board, workforce or community, we:

Uncover your organization’s core strengths
Generate a shared vision
Build consensus on priorities
Create the path to implementation.

Afraid it’s the same old strategic planning of yesteryear? It’s not.

Leadership Development

Our approach is based on a positive worldview. Rather than focusing on people’s limitations, we focus on their strengths. Here’s how we do that:

Recognize every individual’s potential
Get curious about successes and what’s working
Encourage vulnerability and presence
Facilitate engaged feedback
Teach positive practices to strengthen relationships
Practice “radical engagement” and risk taking
Foster next generation leadership

Team Building

We enhance productivity and strengthen connections through partner, customer and peer interviews. What emerges is a shared vision for what might be. The resulting norms, programs and relationships bust silos and launch positive change in boards, communities and organizations. Perfect for new or existing teams.
Appreciative team building has helped clients:

Build trust
Increase staff morale and engagement
Practice collaborative decision making
Connect people to the mission
Create shared accountability
Leverage and align strengths

Team-building isn’t an inside job. Sometimes outsourcing is the key!

“The Appreciative Team Building process has helped me to refocus my strategy on the positive core of what I do. I have been conditioned to see problems and look for the weaknesses, but through the Appreciative Inquiry process I have learned to transfer my strengths to areas that need corrective attention.”

Multi-Stakeholder Facilitation

Our strength-based engagement processes bring different interests and perspectives together to collaborate on challenging decisions or actions. While we always customize the process to your individual needs, our approach involves establishing clear objectives, engaging the right people in the right way, developing trusting relationships, unleashing creativity and an aligned vision of success, and organizing for inspired action.

Our processes have helped clients:

Give voice to all perspectives
Build productive, efficient partnerships
Foster commitment to a shared vision
Identify collective priorities and funding needs
Improve resource allocation
Motivate aligned action
Foster trust in decision making

Creating agreement across competing interests can seem impossible. We can help.

“We’ve heard from a lot of people, including upper management, that they were so thankful that we did this (appreciative inquiry) process and they wish other jurisdictions would do the same. We’re on a great path forward. “

Culture Change

Organizational culture is essentially “the way we do things.” It influences how people think, feel, act, succeed and fail. Whether you’re faced with a merger, acquisition, reduced resources or shifting marketplace, we support your internal “champions” to create a high-performance culture resulting in:

New ways of knowing
Authentic relationships
Collaboration across the value chain
Risk-taking and innovation
A happy and engaged workforce
Commitment to mission and vision
Co-creation of new systems and structures

Mahatma Gandhi said, “We must be the change we want to see in the world.” That begins here.

“Putting cultural change into motion is no small task. But in just three months, Amanda guided us carefully along the AI journey, demonstrating its value, listening to our concerns and drawing every employee into the process. Afterwards, we saw more team members speaking up, communicating with transparency and being intentional about collaboration. Years later, we still see the positive impact it had on our organization. Thank you Amanda!”

Program, Service or Process Design

As people come together to design or redesign programs, services and processes, there’s a complex web of responsibility, power and communication. And when it’s time for a redesign, resistance often occurs. That’s where we come in. Via large summits or smaller study groups, we help team members, investors, customers and suppliers understand what has worked in the past, generate new ideas, and decide what to do and how to do it. Our approach creates strong relationships and an environment where people:

Openly share information
Feel safe to take risks
Identify cross-functional efficiencies
Effectively prioritize and manage workflow
Create agile systems

The result is productivity, efficiency and profitability. Past projects have included design of a career development program, a health care customer service system, and a system for transporting dogs across state lines.

“With guidance from our consulting team, we harnessed the energy and collective wisdom of a significant cross-section of our staff, to implement crucial changes in our career development and related HR programs. The Appreciative Inquiry process shaved months off a typical schedule for such a large, organization-wide change. It delivered a clear message that we value employees’ thoughts, perspectives, aspirations, and feelings.”
