"Yeah…I liked the session, but think anything will come of it?

Need to develop a more collaborative decision-making style across levels, functions, disciplines or even organizational boundaries? Interested in moving beyond the "talking heads" model of managing change? Want to get more out of major customer conferences, staff retreats or industry summits? Let us put the process-design competence of The Sentient Group to work for you.

Aside from our working knowledge of such methods as Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space Technology, Future Search and Simu-Real, we are well grounded in the principles of adult learning, group interventions and the design considerations involved in achieving sustainable change. Moreover, we operate from a set of core convictions about what it takes to bring a community to a new level of consciousness about their history, their situation and how they need to work together toward a preferred future. Paramount among these is our belief in the importance of effectively integrating task and process. We put these principles to work in every project, design in sufficient detail that the client's own staff can execute with ease and build the capacity of the group to harness these principles themselves beyond the engagement.
