Facilitation and issue resolution
Overcome process challenges and impasses to reach sound, clear, fair and broadly-accepted solutions and implementation plans. We provide multiple styles of facilitation (including consensus and parliamentary decision-making) and formats (small and large groups; meetings, retreats and assemblies; domestic and international teleconferences; and online processes). We’ll model inclusive, fun and effective process, dealing with difficult issues, dynamics and participants.
Strategic planning and organizational development
Improve your group's effectiveness through tailored approaches to organizational and environmental assessment, strategy development, goal-setting, structural alignment, action and implementation plans, and evaluation. Working at the organizational, program or unit level, we'll clarify useful concepts, ensure balanced participation, work responsively through ongoing feedback, and provide follow-up support.
Campaign development
Develop effective campaigns through strategy development; layered goal-setting and targeting; innovative, escalating tactics; messaging; resource management; benchmarking; and evaluation.
Conflict resolution
Resolve interpersonal conflicts and develop sustainable working relationships. Our approach focuses on eliciting viable options and clear and lasting agreements that address underlying causes of conflict.
Event and action organizing
Rely on high-caliber planning, coordination and evaluation support for events and actions. We have experience with a wide range of activities, from local to international in scale.
Project management
Tame unwieldy projects through personal consultation or group training on assessment, planning, scheduling, tracking, hiring and managing staff, managing change, reporting, and evaluation.
Time management
Increase your output and sustainability through personal consultation or group training on developing and following through on personal approaches to handling time.
Focus groups
Gain penetrating knowledge to reach, educate, persuade, serve, mobilize or work with your key constituencies.
