What is Transition Consulting?
Transition consulting is a values-based and collaborative category of systems change management. Aspirational change can fail without buy-in and that’s where we begin. Every plan is shaped by feedback from the people who’ll live it. Collaborative strategies are more effective and resilient.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a practice for designing sustainable environmental and social systems based upon the ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share while modeling the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.
Transition is Permaculture in Motion.
Acknowledging that modern human civilization is in an unstable state,
we use nature’s patterns to design the pathway toward a softer, more stable landing.
Transition is accomplished in three stages: From the head — to the heart — to the hands.
Stage 1. The Head
Before naming a single priority, we spend time observing how decisions are made and where trust exists. Then we build an assessment of where your organization currently stands.
Stage 2. The Heart
Before adding anything new, we engage in mutual feedback and visioning. This establishes a foundation of shared goals that holds your team’s energy and solidifies buy-in.
Stage 3. The Hands
Teams already warm to the work may pioneer changes before organization-wide adoption. Progress is monitored and celebrated, instilling motivation.
