Challenges
We Can Help With...
Organizational Health & Design
Systems and structures no longer work as intended or new ones are needed.
Strategic Alignment & Planning
Misaligned priorities and plans that do not translate to action.
Building Capacity
A lack of tools, knowledge, and skills to create meaningful impact.
Clarity & Sense Making
Unable to see patterns or cut through complexity to what matters.
Navigating Change
Struggling to respond, learn, and evolve as context shifts.
Stakeholder Collaboration
Difficulty bringing stakeholders into meaningful, coordinated collaboration.
Expertise Gaps
Need for specialized expertise that's difficult to hire or access internally.
Progress & Momentum
Constant effort without forward movement or meaningful results.
Capabilities
Comprehensive capabilities we can adapt to your needs, constraints, and outcomes. In stead of offering traditional packages, we can combine capabilities to meet your challenges. Each problem, organization, and context is different; this approach allows us the
flexibility to find what will work for you.
Discovery & Sensemaking
Deep listening to understand organizational context and challenges, helping teams see what they're sensing, but haven't yet been able to articulate.
Strategic Illustration
Developing visual synthesis through iterative design and research. Drawing complex ideas, reporting conclusions, or stakeholder journeys to make compelling cases.
Human-Centered Design
Design thinking processes centered on understanding user and stakeholder needs through rigorous research. Focusing on developing solutions that work for the people who will use them.
Visual Facilitation & Harvesting
Interactive graphic facilitation that helps teams think together visually. Drawing ideas, processes, and systems in real-time to create shared understanding.
Strategic Clarity & Alignment
Helping organizations see their current reality clearly and envision their path forward. Work that creates shared understanding, aligns teams on mission, and establishes clear direction.
Collaborative Design & Problem Solving
Co-designing solutions with stakeholders through design sprints, strategy development, and process improvement.
Organizational Development
Building organizational coherence and capacity—clarifying roles and relationships, processing difficult transitions, and strengthening teams' ability to facilitate their own collaborative work.
Capacity Development
Designing or redesigning training programs centered on diverse voices, creating learning materials, and developing visual resources and guidebooks.
Approach
How We Work: The Navigate by Design Approach
These phases aren’t always linear—we move between them as needs evolve and new insights emerge.
Real change is messy and iterative, and the approach adapts accordingly.
Deep Listening
Understanding context, culture, patterns, challenges, experience, and deeper currents.
Visual Mapping
Making complexity visible through systems mapping, graphic facilitation, and drawing to create a shared understanding.
Co-Design
Facilitated design sessions with iterative prototyping. Building on collective wisdom and diverse perspectives.
Adaptive Action
Try small interventions, learn, iterate. Monitor what’s working, adjust what isn’t. Build toward a new normal through incremental, purposeful change.
Integration
Visual documentation of decisions and next steps. Transfer of tools and approaches to internal teams. Support for ongoing navigation.
