Approach

Our methodology starts with understanding the fundamental DNA and strengthening the foundation of the organization. We work to co-create effective strategies, cultures and communications approaches with each of our clients, using proven scientific and psychological models. Our innovative model leverages the strategic and culture systems of the organization and utilizes a holistic organizational framework, which allows leaders a place from which to lead and the people a place to belong and create from within.

Our organizational model

The organizational model has been informed and constructed with nearly three decades of research data and practical application with companies across the globe. The “inside the box” leadership model is predicated on understanding the six sides of the box and establishing an equilibrium between the strategic and culture systems.

Strategic System

  • Environment
  • Operations
  • Direction

Culture System

  • People
  • Engagement
  • Organization identity

Our Process

The magic of our process lies in the ability to challenge the direction and humanize the solution to affect the desired change. The approach, while simplistic in its construct, helps to yield more meaningful connections and extraordinary results.

    Our longest-tenured client has enjoyed an operating income turnaround of more than $100MM which included a change to profitability in addition to more than 11 years without an accident (their previous best was 3 years) and an annual decrease in incidents and OSHA recordables.
