Collaboration is the act of working together in the spirit of willing cooperation to achieve a shared objective. Collaboration requires people interacting so that their different points of view, bases of experience, and knowledge of the situation, problem and its context can be blended together to create actionable solutions.

​

Our approach is different from traditional methodologies. We combine a unique collaborative workspace with a structured facilitated process - Learn, Integrate and Transform. 

​

In 'Learn' we open up the range and depth of vision for the participants. New methods of exploration encouraging participants to look outside the “box” of present practices, and question the hidden assumptions they may be operating under. Diversity is tapped in order to generate an interesting and meaningful exchange of ideas. 

In 'Integrate' we examine assumptions from different vantage points. We look for the “and” (as opposed to the “or”) and the synthesis among good alternatives, while avoiding compromise and voting. The group naturally carries forward the strongest possibilities and iteratively evolves the solution.

​

'Transform' is about action. Excitement and commitment build as solutions take shape with goals, timelines, and responsibilities. In the end, an entire design cycle (vision, design, build, use) is complete, and has gained the momentum required to take it forward successfully.
