Organizational Design & Capacity Building

We partner with movement-building groups and organizations who are ready to align their practices with their values—because we know that’s essential to activating liberatory power. 

Teams and organizations come to us when their internal conflicts, unclear decision-making processes, and misalignment between stated values and actual practices are creating the kind of dysfunction that prevents meaningful work from getting done. When spending energy navigating interpersonal tangles gets in the way of advancing their mission. When people are avoiding each other or stuck in power struggles. And, when they’re navigating changes like a leadership transition or restructuring their team. 

Our Offerings

  • Develop shared expectations and grow the capacities required to meet them.

  • Increase capacity to navigate conflict and co-create collaborative solutions.

  • Support feedback and learning connected to purpose.

  • Align standard operating practices with values.

Organizational Culture

  • Establish guiding commitments: What vision, purpose, people, and values are we holding ourselves accountable to? 

  • Align structure, leadership, and decision-making with guiding commitments.

  • Design policy and practice, such as feedback rhythms and protocols for conflict and accountability.

Organizational Capacity

What shifts when we work together?

What shifts when we work together?

Teams clarify and affirm their shared purpose and ability to work together effectively, moving from dysfunction to alignment, from avoidance to engagement.

Organizations live their values in practice, going beyond “saying the right thing” to actually creating the kind of life-affirming and vision-aligned cultures where we practice into the futures we're working to create.

People feel more trust and are willing to take more constructive risks when there are consistent, fair agreements and processes that they have confidence in. 

Groups reduce burnout and increase ease because conflicts get resolved rather than dragging on, and clear processes eliminate the drain of figuring out "how we handle this" every time something comes up. 

Group members develop skills to clear tensions and navigate challenges with care and commitment, building the kind of resilience movements will need for the long haul.
