In implementing the Matrix Model of developing open, sustainable systems, we intervene in three levels of organizational and community life:

• Relational/Interpersonal
  We optimize team performance by forming a Matrix of person-to-person connections grounded in effective communication, appreciation, highly effective feedback and mutual responsibility.

• Group or System
  By attending to the developmental needs of the group or system, we help individuals and teams free themselves from habitual roles. Differences become resources. Conflict becomes creative synergy. Leadership is shared. We introduce awareness of the need for multicultural competence and emotional intelligence.

• Individual/Personal
  We create opportunities for personal mastery and transformation. We design programs that increase self-awareness, emotional intelligence, leadership skills, performance, creativity and confidence. We link individual and executive coaching with the goals of the team and the organization.
