What we do...

At Henosis Partners, our goal is simple…to help your organization achieve its goals!  Specifically, we help design and facilitate innovative, adaptive strategies that enable organizations to solve their most complex adaptive challenges by leveraging a proprietary mix of contemporary methods, tools, and techniques including complexity leadership theory, participatory narrative inquiry, dialogic method, cognitive psychology, Kata-based experimentation, and large-group sense-making. 

Further, we help organizations learn how to challenge the status quo by leveraging the power of 'difference' (aka 'cognitive and demographic diversity') to become more collaborative, customer-centric, innovative, cost-conscious, and better able to adapt to fast-changing conditions.  Through leveraging the power of dialogue, we help organizations solve their most intractable challenges while simultaneously creating the capacity for an organization to proactively achieve higher levels of organizational alignment, operational innovation, and staff performance. 

Still not sure if we can help?  

If any of the following 'symptoms' describe your organization, then give us a call, we can help:

• Inability to sustainably solve complex adaptive challenges (i.e., the problem keeps recurring)
• Organizational culture is misaligned to achieve desired corporate objectives
• Cross-functional conflicts exist to a "jointly"-owned problem
• Inability to quickly and effectively adapt to fast changing conditions
• Productivity/capacity leakage due to inefficient processes and/or org designs
• Lack of 'adaptive space' in the organization to quickly solve problems and/or spawn innovations
• Poor customer experiences due to ineffective processes and inadequate internal handoffs
• Ineffective team meetings due to poor listening and conversing patterns
• Internal fragmentation (e.g., fragmented perspectives, authority, change agenda, vocabulary, understanding of customers needs, priorities, measures, learning, incentives & rewards, communications, use of technology, etc.)
• Not effectively leveraging the diversity of the organization to inspire innovation and/or organizational growth 
• Diminished staff engagement and/or turnover (due to everything else above in this list)

We are experts in designing, building, and hosting dialogic-based processes, events, and platforms to catalyze operating model innovation, address organizational design inefficiencies, and initiate large-scale cultural transformations. In short, we help create the conditions for organizations to 'win' in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

Complex Facilitation & Problem Solving

At Henosis Partners, we employ a unique approach to helping you solve your most intractable issues. 

We approach unconventionally... by first learning of your current state through harvesting stories (micro-narratives) from your leadership and staff.  Then, we look to create a shared understanding, shared intention amongst your people of both what challenges exist and how best to solve them.  Last, we act in an instant by applying the iterative method (aka 'Agile/Scrum Framework') to help you prototype the new. 

And, while helping you achieve your transformational goals, solving your intractable issues, is the goal, our clients tell us the most enduring aspect of our approach is how we transformed the relations of their people all along the way.  This is what Henosis Partners is all about.  This is the legacy we leave behind.    

Complexity Leadership Training & Team Effectiveness Coaching  

A new type of leadership is needed today – Complexity Leadership.  What is a complexity leader?  Simply put, a complexity leader is someone who is able to facilitate a 'collective leadership' amongst diverse others in a complex social system to transform the system. 

Specifically, a complexity leader needs to possess three (3) high-order capabilities: 1) the ability to see the larger system; to be an “integrator”; possess an integrative mindset 2) the ability to foster reflection and generative dialogue amongst several diverse others, and 3) the ability to shift organizations, teams, and individuals from reacting to events and circumstances to co-creating the future. 

Our coaching offering helps leaders develop the capabilities to become a  competent and confident complexity leader.  Together, we can help you upskill and reskill your people to be more effective in facilitating 'adaptive change' to achieve your strategic goals.
