Everything we do involves learning and change and broadly falls into three areas:

Every organisation has an explicit task or job to do. How well it can do this depends on the dynamics that emerge as people interact every day, enabling and constraining each other. We are often asked to help change dynamics that are getting in the way of achieving goals.

We usually start by mapping the system we are working with, the goals of what we are looking to achieve, people’s roles and what is helping and getting in the way of achieving goals. There are often different views on these. Our normal response to differences is trying to persuade, dismiss or attack them. We introduce the systems-centered method of functional subgrouping to interrupt this and instead to listen to the information in the differences to make more effective decisions. Our overall goal is to build a climate where it is possible to reduce whatever is getting in the way of achieving goals.
