Experience has taught me that it is best to meet the client where they are and then through collaborative and strategic partnership and using constructive candor and data, guide the client to their defined desired state. This is best done by considering the whole enterprise and its interconnected parts using Systems Thinking and Transformational Dialogue development techniques. Make no mistake. Real change requires clear intentionality with a keen eye on sustainability. We offer our clients the opportunity to go as quickly as possible and as slowly as required. TWG embraces this paradox in all of its work and invites clients to do the same. To optimize the chances for sustainable change, we incorporate a PRE, DURING, and POST Methodology deeply rooted in decades of organizational and systems experience, expertise, research and learning.
