Create the conditions for human potential to unfold.
“True wisdom consists in not departing from nature, but in molding our conduct according to her laws and model.” - Seneca, philosopher
Innovative organizations know that change happens from the inside-out through individual and team coaching, and they reinforce this change from the outside-in through living systems. This isn’t easy and it’s nearly impossible to do alone within your organization. But how many external change management consultants produce a beautiful, elaborate plan that is never implemented in the end?
At Evolve, we do things differently. Our advisor will come alongside you as a trusted partner to create systemic-level interventions that last. That’s because our overall purpose is to help you acknowledge and build a living system that parallels the natural world. We will make sense of your current business context, opportunities and limitations, stakeholders and interpersonal dynamics in order to lay a path forward that is regenerative.
As an independent resource, we bring a fresh outlook, decades of experience and politically neutral strategies and tactics to our partnership. We have the unique ability to wear our coaching, teaching, facilitation and advisory hats as needed while we work closely with senior leaders and stakeholders to release tensions and allow shifts in perception and embodiment to occur. Our approach stems from combined principles and methods in neuroscience, human factors, ecotherapy, sociotechnical systems engineering, humanistic management, linguistics and other disciplines.

HOW IT WORKS
Approach
Our advisor works alongside you as you explore your challenges, gain insights and catalyze authentic change in your leadership consciousness. Our work together is iterative, each session building upon the last. We do not approach our work with a big project plan; instead, we begin with a framework and set of questions related to organizational structure, governance, purpose and values, design principles, value streams, products and more. We develop the learning path from there.
Assessment
We draw from the principles of Regenerative Business to help you create a living system that lasts long after we have completed our engagement. We assess and address your culture, being and design.
