Vision and Mission
Our Vision
Our vision is to make professional facilitation skills, services, tools and techniques accessible to all Canadians.
Our Mission
We keep the discussions about the purpose, not the personality.
We aim to help people with diverse or opposing perspectives collaborate to achieve a collective objective, make more informed decisions, develop innovative solutions, and solve complex challenges together.
Our Values
Collaboration and Teamwork
Consulting work often gets a bad rap. Contrary to popular belief, it's not about “hustling” or dollar amount, and although we might not provide traditional care services, we have the same goal of helping people. The difference in our consulting practice is our philosophy of collaboration. We know we work smarter together and we've built a reputation teaching our clients to adopt this very skill.
Learning & Knowledge Transfer
Our consultants may specialize in different areas, or practice specific techniques, but they all have one thing in common: a growth mindset. We believe that no matter how many years we have in practice, we are never done learning. We want to share our knowledge with our clients and colleagues, and gain new knowledge at every turn. Seniority might come from experience, but we believe everyone has a valuable contribution to a project, and that belief is what gives our projects immense value.
Work with Meaning
If you ask our senior consultants why they continue to do this work after 30 years, they will tell you the same thing, because it’s meaningful. Facilitators get to work on topics that bring impactful change, or with organizations that do really cool stuff, and, well, that’s not a bad way to earn a living. The fact is, our people are passionate because they found purpose, and it’s one of the most rewarding parts of the gig.
Employment Equity
We are rooted in alliance with equity-deserving groups. We strive to create policies and practices that encourage equitable conditions for groups that have been historically disadvantaged. We hold ourselves accountable for our commitment to equality, and stay informed on how we can maintain this commitment. Our teamwork benefits from it, as do our services.
Diversity & Inclusion
We believe it is necessary to create brave spaces that make it easy to promote inclusion and diversity within our workplace. It's not just something we seek, it's something we demand. We measure this by our ability to attract, recruit, and retain a talented team of diverse people, regardless of their race, nationality, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disabilities, or genetic characteristics. We support continuous diversity and inclusion initiatives both internally and in the community. More importantly, we take care of each other and will not tolerate the mistreatment of any of our team members.
Social Responsibility
Our social responsibility is a commitment that we will not profit off companies that cause negative effects or impacts on society and the planet. We focus on sustainable growth, diverse workforces, and equitable hiring practices.
