Our approach
We have co-designed an approach that enables the manifestation of our principles and which we believe can bring life, soul and value to our and others´ initiatives. The approach consists of 5 pillars:
Our processes follow a natural rhythm:
Inputs → Safe Space → Co-Sensing → Prototyping → Emergent Outcomes
-
Co-Sensing: Deep listening and shared understanding of the current reality. and the real intention for change.
-
Co-Creation: Generating ideas collaboratively, with methods and processes where a diverse group can listen deeply to each other with open minds, hearts and will.
-
Prototyping: Building and refining actions through rapid learning cycles.
We adapt proven participatory methods to your context:
-
Theory U: Helps groups move from downloading old patterns to sensing, presencing, and co-creating new possibilities.
-
Art of Hosting: Creates meaningful conversations that matter, using circle practice and dialogue to unlock collective wisdom.
-
Liberating Structures: Simple yet powerful facilitation techniques that make collaboration inclusive and productive.
-
Design Thinking: Brings creativity and user-centred design to complex problem-solving, turning ideas into tangible prototypes.
Our principles
-
Safety and Inclusion: everyone’s voice matters. We design spaces where trust and openness thrive. We dare to try new things and methods, even when it means walking away from our comfort zones,
-
Co-Ownership: ways forward stick when those affected help create them. We welcome the creative tension that puzzles and contradictions bring about, and work to channel them towards shared actions.
-
Emergence over Imposition: we let ideas evolve organically rather than forcing pre-set frameworks, enabling the future to emerge naturally from what is possible now.
-
Systemic Thinking: we look beyond symptoms to understand relationships and root causes even though these might be uncomfortable to talk about.
-
Service, kindness and professionalism: we strive to work with integrity and enthusiasm (which we always try to pass on!), listening to the deep needs of our partners.
