Organizational Culture and Systems

Working in the Hyphen, Kevin’s system of organizational design and leadership development, allows clients to build practical frameworks for leadership, communication, governance and strategic direction that are based upon transparency, accountability and autonomy.   It enables all levels of an organization to understand the cycles of long-range and strategic thinking and respond to both anticipated and unanticipated changes in a constructive manner.

Working in the Hyphen has been particularly effective in:

• Communication & Conflict Resolution;
• Leadership Development;
• Strategic Planning & Implementation;
• Systems & Space Design; and
• Teambuilding.

There are several ways to integrate the “Working in the Hyphen” system into an organization.  The most effective method is through a customized program, starting with a general presentation of the system to the staff and board, along with an analysis of the organization’s culture and leadership style.  Kevin then designs a training program that draws upon a set of established workshops, but is tailored to client’s needs.  The program ideally works if it is integrated over a period of 6-12 months, allowing for the staff to become familiar with the concepts and try them out before the next training session.
