Our Approach To Org Challenges
WHY WE HELP DIFFERENTLY
Organizational dysfunction rarely has a single cause. Issues emerge at the intersections—when governance doesn't support strategy, when policies undermine culture, when decision-making processes clash with stated values. Organizations struggle not because they lack good intentions, but because they're using the wrong frameworks to see and address their problems.
Traditional approaches silo culture from governance, treat "people issues" separately from strategy and operations, or rely on superficial metrics—like DEI's focus on the symbolic—that miss the structural dynamics fueling dysfunction.
We take a different approach. We believe organizational health depends on four interconnected pillars: Governance (how power and decisions flow), Strategy (how goals and resources align), Policy (the systems and processes that guide work), and Culture (the norms and dynamics that shape daily life). Using this 4-pillar model and our Power, Belonging & Justice (PBJ) paradigm, we analyze issues more precisely to reveal how these systems interact to create the challenges you're facing—getting to the root to design better solutions.
To design better, you've got to diagnose better. So precision is the point—because precision brings organizations out of dysfunction and towards justice.
