Ideation Collaborative

i • c is future-focused, inquisitive, and mindful of organizational history and culture; the firm practices the development of strategic actioning as the next generation [3.0] of strategic planning. Sam innovatively facilitates strategic dialogue and perspective to create simple articulation and clarity in specific goals. The firm’s unique core competency and value is in process design and facilitation, which applies to every project undertaken. Community, stakeholder, and staff outreach and engagement is vital to successful projects, and must be comprehensively planned and actively facilitated throughout to ensure success. In a society where every new product released must have an ‘i‘ in its name, i•c’s work is focused in the ‘we’. Very little of great value is actually accomplished alone in this world, and groups and whole communities that develop a shared vision and work toward it together is powerful, if not game-changing. Reaching out and establishing a forum for dialogue and problem solving is critical to every phase of a project, from its strategic planning through its tactical execution. Maintaining the conversation with your community beyond initial input and throughout the implementation of any project or idea will guarantee that emerging issues are addressed readily and do not negatively impact the process. Truly listening and being both anticipatory and responsive creates trust and advocacy within the community with you and for your project.
