Knowledge Networking

If you need breakthroughs in cooperation, collaboration, synergy, and learning in your organization, the Knowledge Networking process will be helpful to you. This is a mix of World Café and the Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA) Focused Conversation methods. This process is informal enough to allow for multiple learning styles and formal enough to guarantee transference of knowledge back into your organization. It solves problems you are having today while enhancing professional relationships for more open communication down the road. If this does not lead to revitalizing your organization, decreasing employee turnover, or increasing billable hours we will give you your money back. We call this Knowledge Networking.

Communication Breakthroughs

If you need a breakthrough in communication about group dynamics, group success and group challenges or you have a challenge that has gone unaddressed due to the gravity of the situation, this what you're looking for. This is also a great process if you have some things you want to celebrate. This process empowers groups to celebrate their successes and take a candid, nonjudgmental look where they need to grow as a group. We call this process Splash Of Paint.

Structured Conversation

This method of leading a discussion guarantees full participation from every single person in the group and keeps any one person from dominating the discussion. This method focuses multiple interests on a particular topic or issue, and avoids heated arguments by provoking thoughtful dialogue. It uses the focused conversion methodology from ICA and Minnesota Technology of Participation (MN ToP). In less than one hour, I can teach you how to lead a Structured Conversation.

Synchronization Strategy Process

Do you need a collective integrative thinking method that ensures no one feels they had to “give up something” in order for the group to move forward? Do you need to coordinate departments with different objectives, or agree on criteria for decisions, or find common ground among parties with opposing views or perspectives, and discover a group’s hopes and dreams? Then you need our Synchronization Strategy Process.

Diversity Issues Appreciative Inquiry

Sexual harassment and diversity issues including transgender or transsexual workers issues can be sticky issues on any team. This method can change the focus of the issue with great results! We guarantee to do no harm. We call this process Straw Into Gold.

Short Term Strategic Coordinating

Do you need a method for short-term planning of an event or project that's already been agreed upon or about which there is already some agreement? This facilitation process creates specific measurable achievable realistic and time sensitive (SMART) goals. It aligns the creativity, capabilities, interests, and resources of the group with the task at hand. It covers all the essential aspects of most project plans, while still encouraging the engagement of all perspectives in the group. We call this Short Term Strategic Coordinating.

Individual Executive coaching

If you need a way to find out more about yourself and look deeper into what you want then this will be helpful to you. It involves the active and collaborative participation of the facilitator and the individual and is highly experiential in nature. Using one-on-one exercises, creative exercises and soul searching processes, it allows a person to explore their strengths and capitalize on them. It also helps the individual see their blind spots and better work around their weaknesses. We call this process Individual Executive Coaching.

Special Assignment

We can help you with any back burner issues or projects that have resisted previous best efforts.
