Applications Techniques Results

Ours is not a “cookie-cutter” operation.  We utilize varied methods and processes to achieve the needed outcomes.  Some common techniques and processes include:

  • Cardstorming Method – consensus building, articulation of unified message, levels out communication between varied levels and personalities within an organization.
  • Conflict Resolution — holding group tension within healthy bounds for productive outcomes, clarifying agreement and lack of agreement, seeking opportunities to move understandings and relationships forward
  • Creative Brainstorming — maximizing participation, capturing the synergy of group energy
  • Environmental Design Charrettes — envisioning alternatives for a local building program, neighborhood or regional community project, with an emphasis upon long-term economic, social and environmental sustainability
  • Historical Assessments — communication of institutional memory & workplace relationships, learning from past blocks and cultural values
  • Mission Statement Design— consensus building exercise to clarify unified purpose and external message
  • Plan Follow-Up and Assessment — group evaluation of past planning effort and mid-course corrections; employment of milestone measurements and tracking
  • Process Analysis — breaking down and improving processes, discovering dependencies, stress points, easy fixes, cross-functional opportunities
  • Short-Term Action Planning — tasking of time critical actions, promotes accountability and increases focus by the group and its leadership, employs technology to track and maintain focus.
  • Strategic Planning — including historical and data-driven analysis, visioning, contradiction processing, development of strategic directions and accountability charting for short-term results.  All to move the organization forward in working smarter and achieving overall mission.
