The process followed when engaged by an organization involves the following steps:
1. Meet with key management of a company, division or department to gain the full understanding of the goals of the forthcoming work
2. Based on a thorough understanding, convert that into clear objectives for the group work to be done
3. Establish an atmosphere in which all voices are called forth and heard for the contributions that need to be expressed and considered
4. Design a very interactive agenda that consists of activities intended to further the understanding of the goals and result in the achievement of them
5. Design a follow-up plan that insure that this effort is just the beginning of sustainable change and not a flavor of the month.
