As an Agendashift partner, Mike is in the business of building wholehearted organisations.
Mike shares in our mission is to help organisations grow in wholeheartedness – helping them become less at war with themselves, their obstacles, imbalances, and contradictions identified and owned, creating both value and meaning in the process.
Equipped with all the tools of a Agendashift partner, Mike can serve you in a number of ways:
- Help you identify and frame the right challenges to engage on
- Help you invite others into the strategy process – not only for their perspectives and ideas but for the organisational integration that participation brings
- Help you celebrate their successes – amplifying your organisation’s capacity to innovate, not only in terms of enhanced products and services but in terms of the organisation’s own development also
