Areas of Practice
We serve as thinking partners for leaders.
We view our work through an organizational development lens to support business success, guided by principles of equity, diversity, and other aspects of healthy human systems. We have been on our reconciliation journeys since the mid 1980’s.
As neutral third parties, we actively work with you to craft solutions that are in everyone’s best interests. Every step of the way our process engages participants and creates a sense of ownership that builds commitment to sustainable improvements.
We engage in random acts of education in all our service areas.
Well, not actually random. Relevant. We are compelled to educate and build capacity.

I’ve frequently turned to Ruth Kinzel when having to tackle complex and fundamental issues, particularly those related to strategic organizational development, change leadership, and navigation of a wide swath of personalities and interests. Ruth’s fearless approach to critically examining underlying motivations, challenging thought processes, and marrying immediate flashpoints with a necessary long-view has reliably positioned our organizations for better solutions.
