Values
Organization Development is a values-based planned change process that solicits the participation of those affected by the change. Our approach to individual and organizational change is guided by a commitment to social responsibility, justice and equity, diversity and inclusion, collaboration, and the unleashing of human potential. We bring the following values to our work:
Collaboration: Each project is a creative collaboration between the consultants and the client. We work with you to clarify your goals and co-create a process to achieve them.
Engagement: We believe that people impacted by change should be engaged in the change process. Throughout the process, we seek cost-effective ways to engage a broad array of stakeholders. Stakeholder engagement increases organizational buy in and successful implementation.
Customization: We know that research and “best practices” are valuable guides, and that individual customization is essential to success. Every organization is unique; therefore, tailored structures, processes, and solutions have the deepest impact.
Authenticity: We are authentic and transparent in our relationships with clients. This value translated into practice means sharing observations and raising difficult questions in the interest of serving the organization.
Capacity Building: While working together, we intentionally share tools and skills in order to build organizational capacity and reduce your organization's reliance on outside consultant support. The ultimate goal is for you to learn how to continuously develop your own organization.
Intersectionality: We bring an intersectional lens to each project. This value translated into practice means that we explore and seek to understand the organizational systems knowing that multiple layers of oppression and power are impacting both the individuals and teams in distinct and challenging ways. We share our discoveries with the client to encourage their organizational growth and to co-create just, sustainable, and vibrant organizational cultures.
We comply with the International Organization Development Code of Ethics.
