We have multiple models of engagement: We can work directly with individuals for private engagements, partner with leaders on organizational endeavors, or simply be involved in the planning process. No project is too small, but we generally prefer to work in sprints with a 3-6 month minimum duration. If you have any questions or ideas, we’d be happy to schedule a consultation.
