Our Services
-

Governance Advisory
We advise boards seeking to elevate their governance performance through evidence-based evaluations, composition diagnostics, and strategic development planning. Our approach integrates ethnographic research, stakeholder interviews, and governance benchmarking to enhance oversight, foresight, and long-term strategic alignment.
-

Executive & Director Assessment
We conduct qualitative executive and director assessments using thematic analysis of interviews and stakeholder perspectives to evaluate role fit and predict performance, translating insights into role scorecards, onboarding priorities, and focused development guidance that support faster integration and long-term success.
-

Education & Capacity Building
We build the governance and leadership capacity of nonprofit boards and executives through experiential workshops, retreats, and learning programs. Rooted in inquiry and reflection, our sessions foster collaboration, clarity, and courage — equipping leaders to align decisions with mission and impact.
-

Leadership Inquiry in Governance
We engage CEOs, executive directors, and board chairs in leadership inquiry at the intersection of governance and culture. Through confidential dialogue, observation, and qualitative analysis, we explore how leadership behaviors and board dynamics shape decision-making, alignment, and organizational performance.
-

Leadership Development
We support leadership development through inquiry, diagnostics, and thoughtfully designed workshops and retreats that clarify leadership expectations, surface capability gaps, and build shared understanding across leadership teams and boards in alignment with strategy, culture, and governance context.
