Collective Invention's strategic sessions are experiential, engaging, and productive. We balance gravitas with a sense of humor.  We construct highly visual, interactive environments to work in and bring deep group process and strategic planning expertise to bear.

Our practice incorporates a range of methods and establishes habits that improve cooperation, lead to more satisfying strategies, and address old problems in novel ways. We do more than design effective meetings; we recognize patterns as they develop and give shape and substance to emerging ideas.

A Collective Invention session--whether with a governing board, an executive leadership team or an innovation task force--engages participants intellectually, imaginatively and emotionally. We know how important it is to listen deeply, and to reflect back what we have heard accurately and in ways that advance the group's work. We are just as attuned to what is not being said, and are skillful at bringing sensitive issues to the surface constructively.

For many of our clients, a team must begin by agreeing on a purpose and vision for the work; in other instances, groups need a protocol for analyzing options and coming to decisions. We build frameworks for decision-making and distributed leadership that support a generative culture of innovation.
