Powerful heuristics* that enable just and incisive improvements in complex systems of work.
In addition to consulting, we make a difference to systems of work by providing leaders with the tools to make their own interventions, now and into the future.
*windows for seeing and acting.
Speed to Clarity - new ways of seeing
Problem Differentiation – sorting via meaningful distinctives
Problem Attenuation – better handles on large challenges
Capability Amplification – increased proficiency in tackling problems
Incisiveness of Response - intelligent system interventions
Improved Productivity - effective and efficient knowledge work outputs with reduced waste.
Cognitive Ergonomics - working with, not against, human abilities
Conceptually Economic - smart focused work for large leverage
Signal from Noise -
Just Processes - improved systems and minimisation of harm done.
Scale Free Theory - a single generative cause to explain dynamics at any level.
Deep Simplicity - stable structures for pattern recognition in dynamic contexts.
Humanemic Organising - "-emic" solutions that are native to humans, not an "-etic" (external) approach.
Conversation: We are skilled listeners and use the technology of talk. We listen for significance, and have broad experience of human and technical contexts that enable us to filter and sort rapidly.
Graphics: We think in pictures. We help see problems and conversations as images.
Heuristics: We use a range of our own models forged in complex problem spaces, as well as the best we have found from years in practice.
Metaphor: We find metaphors useful to bring insight and understanding, for both ourselves, and our clients.
Systems: We map and describe the systems in which people unknowingly are operating. Both for diagnosis and intervention.
Design: We work in the realm of resolving wicked problems, using design approaches.
