About Us
We facilitate bottom-up processes to empower people to address issues in an inclusive and participative culture of dialogue and learning. We believe the solutions inside the group are the best solutions and we provide the necessary structure to enable these solutions to emerge.
Our Vision is a more trusting society, with a participative problem-solving culture, that has the necessary skills and tools to proactively address challenges in an inclusive and collaborative manner.

Group Facilitation
Bring us your issue and we provide the tools to resolve it in a participative inclusive manner, that captures the wisdom of the relevant stakeholders and inspires ownership in the process and the implementation of the agreed solutions.
We generally apply Open Space facilitation methods, which provide the framework for a group to set their own agenda, have fruitful discussions and pave the way forward that is right for them. It is based on the premise that the wisdom is in the crowd.
