Our methods enable organizations to better understand themselves and their environment so that they can more effectively pursue their goals and manage response to change caused by:
    • business/operational process modifications
    • mergers/acquisitions
    • expansion/downsizing
    • globalization/diversification
    • adversary/competitor activities
CORE TECHNOLOGIES

Theory: Generative Practice Theory ™
    • Substantive theory of individuals and organizations as systems of inter-dependent practices.

Method: Practice Mapping™
    • Structured, trainable methods to collect data on organizational behavior, formalize as practices, actors and organizations, and analyze embodied risks/potential.

Computational Technology: ACCORD™ and CFA™
    • ACCORD™– tools for human systems modeling and operations management: data collection, behavior formalization, practice and actor modeling, choice modeling and analysis.

    • CFA™– architecture for collaborative human-systems modeling, analysis, and operations management: argumentation, task management, and risk-management support for conflict detection and resolution.
