Start the conversation

We care deeply about the work we take on. These are some of the kinds of challenges that move us.

01

When strategy needs to be built, not bought

Co-designing plans that reflect the voices and realities of the people closest to the work.

02

When the path forward isn’t clear

Helping organizations and communities figure out what’s next.

03

When alignment feels out of reach

Bringing people with different priorities, roles, or worldviews into shared understanding.

04

When trust is essential

Holding space for high-stakes conversations where relationships matter.

05

When you’re crossing boundaries

Working across cultural, social, political or organizational lines to get to real progress.

06

When follow-through matters

You want decisions and dialogue to lead to real, lasting action.

Line-wide gathering design

Every organization and community is unique, so our approach is too.

Our approach is rooted in proven methodologies including the MG Taylor Process & Method, human-centered design, and OCAP® Principles. We draw from these foundations to create custom processes that honor context, build trust, and drive meaningful outcomes.

  • We lead strategy processes by developing values, roadmaps, and long-term plans through interviews, workshops, and working sessions. We bring clarity to ambiguity and help teams turn ideas into decisions they can act on.

  • We design creative communication strategies and materials that help organizations share their story, build understanding, and navigate complex messaging challenges.

  • We design and facilitate meetings, gatherings, and multi-party processes involving internal teams, Indigenous groups, and external partners. Our approach makes space for disagreement and difference while guiding groups toward clear outcomes.
