How We Work

We provide a wholistic service from our full service suite, comprised of various services that are also provided as stand alone services. They are:  strategy formulationinsights for the built environmentdefining for designlong term planningworkshop design and deliverystrategic facilitationcommunity and stakeholder engagement and restorative design.

Our work is across three domains (organisations, community and built environment) in recognition of the organic interactions the domains have with one another. This is illustrated below. 

 

Our Techniques

Techniques that we apply to do our work have been acquired over many years, some we have developed ourselves and we keep learning new ones. This is helpful for getting to the bottom of problems (rather than dealing with symptoms) and finding ways that sustainably address challenges. Some of the techniques are:

  • Visual collectives (a visual technique)
  • 4D problem solving technique
  • The LASP process technique 
  • Various research techniques

As part of collaboration, we also work with others who bring in other methods and techniques that may be required.  Users of a contextual eco-system have a sound understanding of the issues and problems in the system and we work with them and other stakeholders. We bring many voices, experiences, expertise, data and interests together and we harnesses the various participants in the system to draw-out insights and co-author solutions or designs.
