Identity and Direction Setting
We self-organize or create our lives based on our identity - on who we say we are and how we feel about ourselves. Who we are and want to be drives our focus and our actions. Exploration of and sharing identity is the number one way to direct change. It is the essence of the saying "Think Globally and Act Locally." Leadership, Strategy, Goals, Objectives and Measurement are associated methods.

Process Design, Management and Improvement
Processes are the primary meridians or pathways through which products and services are delivered. Their design drives their functioning. They need to flow. They need to connect. They need to provide feedback for learning and adaptation. Flowing charting, standardization, data gathering, customer service methods are associated tools and methods.

Meeting Management and Facilitation 
Meetings are the steps we take together to complete our projects, improve our processes and set our directions. Meetings contain our shared understandings and our agreements. Collaboration, Facilitation, Role Identification, Note Taking, Agenda Setting and Room Arrangement are a few of the tools and methods of meeting management.

Relationships and Teamwork
Organization structure includes static elements such as physical plant, organization chart, and production equipment. Relationships and Teamwork are the dynamic elements of the organization and the mechanisms for integration, alignment, learning and adaptation. Clear communication and collaboration are two important skill-sets each having its own toolkit.

Culture Design, Strength and Fit
The culture of an organization tracks the history of its human relationships,
teamwork, symbols and problem-solving experience. Develop a culture that
aligns everyone with your mission, vision and agenda. Create symbols, tell stories and recognize heroes that reinforce your stated values. Surface your own and others assumptions in order to discover invisible blocks to living your ideal culture.

Corporate Wellness
There is a reciprocal relationship between the vitality and productivity of your organization and the wellbeing and motivation of its people. Wellness programs recognize this and focus on the individual person knowing that investment in the human resource will improve the company ROI. Building in human measurements of wellbeing and satisfaction into the dashboard of the organization and supporting individual wellbeing on many fronts are the basics of Corporate Wellness initiatives.

Organization Design and Change
The need to change is signaled by a tension between where you are and where you want to be. Although changing has a reactive and adaptive component, there are proactive disciplines and practices. Sharing a vision and a language, establishing and maintaining relevance, engendering commitment, modeling desired behaviors for others to emulate and draw enthusiasm from, staying relaxed and focused, crossing boundaries and changing roles are a few of the strategies for change in our organizations and in our personal life.

Healthy Organizations
Where are we going? Why are we working? What good will our organizations do? How will they serve others? What environment must an organizatio\n maintain to perform its duties? How do we design our business systems to generate products, services and wealth, while developing its workforce and serving the larger environment and community on which it depends? Thinking systemically and embracing the heart is key to answering these questions. All the varied roles we play, our tools, methods and strategies are brought to bear in creating and sustaining organizational health.
