Our approach
Diagnose and design: We assess your current culture and decision-making; identify barriers to effective collaboration and learning, and design a transformation plan.
Implementation and coaching: We provide coaching and training to leaders and teams to support individual growth and improve collaboration.
Change management and sustainability: We help you address organizational and departmental barriers that can prevent people from contributing their best ideas and work. We help build change-capable leadership, define roles, and establish cycles for review and adaptation.
Measurement and continuous learning: We support the creation of dashboards, metrics, and reviews to track progress and inform ongoing improvements.
We incorporate Rotary’s Four-Way Test in our work:
- Is it the truth? Based on credible data and clear reasoning.
- Is it fair to all concerned? Consider employees, customers, suppliers, and communities.
- Will it build goodwill and better relationships? Foster trust and collaboration.
- Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Weigh net benefits and long-term value.

DPA emphasizes practical, collaborative problem-solving and learning across many perspectives and disciplines. We can help you implement a framework that truly engages people and informs practices, on a schedule that fits your objectives. Our tools and methods adapt to your organization’s unique environment, address tough or sensitive issues, reduce defensiveness, and facilitate learning.
