Team Learning
Teams are the lifeblood and central learning units of modern organizations. Implementing team learning across the organization creates the knowledge and systems needed for high performing teams and effective cross-functional collaborations as your organization pursues its vision. A misguided assumption leaders make– is individual learning is the same as team learning.
Team Attachment Security and Psychological Safety
Creating a secure environment where employees can meet their basic attachment security needs creates the space for building team psychological safety. Secure environments and team psychological safety are foundational building blocks to a culture that supports thriving. Team psychological safety provides the pathway to team learning.
Design Thinking and Creative Problem Solving
Creativity is what shapes and builds the future of any organization. Building a team’s collaborative and creative problem solving and design thinking skills while also designing a culture that supports innovation and change allows your organization to not only thrive in the present but remain competitive as you tackle the uncertain and ambiguous future.
Team Well-Being
Including employee and team well-being as a critical factor in all decisions allows you to influence a thriving culture that supports the people in your organization while also supporting the pursuit of your vision. The employee experience should include well-being. Team well-being impacts employee retention, productivity, and other critical factors to an organization’s success.

Our Approach
We utilize our diverse work experiences, as well as our academic research background to co-tackle the problems our clients face. Building off our belief in the power of designerly ways of thinking, we approach each client engagement from a design and narrative based perspective. We take the time to do the empathy interviews to understand your current story and all the perspectives within your team before exploring and creating potential solutions.
We believe there is no one-size fits all approach, so whether you are engaging with us for a workshop, assessment, or consulting engagement- we take the time to make sure it is relevant to your context and needs. If we feel our solutions are not the right solutions for you, we will let you know. If we can’t support your path to thriving, we will help you find someone that will. It is all part of thriving.
