Core Competencies

Systems perspectives

With a systems perspective, groups can see the patterns in how people and organizations are connected and how they behave. They can construct a shared view of a challenge and of the dynamic forces at play. Together, they can detect where change is likely soonest and the direction things go as they start to intervene.

Adaptive strategizing

Adaptive strategizing is a systematic way of making sense of a what’s happening, of coming up with innovative solutions, and of adapting activities based on the outcomes that emerge.

Inclusive collaboration

Diverse perspectives enhance a group’s collective intelligence. They help groups see more facets of a problem and more opportunities for generating change. A group’s diverse skills and abilities increase its power to innovate, to combine resources in unexpected ways and overcome the most difficult challenges.
