These are the foundation for the School. Rediscover the power of personal connection as a condition of reform and seek to overcome the isolating and narrowing effects of our institutions.
Participants learn how to better connect a team of ten to a community of hundreds.
The School offers the opportunity to redesign structures and practices that not only express connection, purpose and freedom, but also fit an environment that demands a low-cost quick, customized, locally controlled response. Most of our current practices regarding governance, work processes, information, training, rewards and leadership discourage flexibility and responsiveness. Effective changes in form will be best designed by those living within them. The School marries the practicality of goals and the intrinsic value of meaning to find common ground in shared purpose. Participants are enabled to redefine each assignment or objective to contain personal value as well as service to the larger institution.
