Where the Known and the Unknown Meet
Our clients are on that edge. We help individuals and organizations work in unknown territory and learn to use it as a business
resource. We use our Creative Emergence Process and an integration of whole-brain methods which include emergent
strategy, storytelling, applied improvisation, body-centered and arts-based practices to name a few. By using the
whole-brain, what emerges are novel ideas, profound insights, visionary innovations, surprising directions, new structures
and next-level solutions you can't get by conventional thinking. People feel a sense of purposeful contribution as inspired
results are achieved.
