Building a Both/And Blueprint

Arrow pointing right

Our process starts by taking a deep-dive into your organization’s current state — talking to individual creatives, managers, and organizational leaders to get a better understanding of your cultural challenges, pain points, and areas for improvement.

Then, together with key voices from across your teams, we’ll develop your company’s Both/And Blueprint: an actionable strategy, and roadmap, for creating measurable change at individual, organizational, and industry-wide levels.

Our Both/And Blueprints include specific recommendations for:

  • organizational communications

  • industry collaboration + advocacy

  • implementation timelines

  • ongoing impact measurement

  • team + leadership trainings

  • resources + benefits

  • policy + process revisions

  • support + facilitation partners

Inspired by humans. Backed by science.

We developed our Both/And process, and philosophy, based on a series of frameworks that follow the principles of human-centered design, integrative practices, and holistic systems thinking.

  • “Centered on the worker’s voice and equity, [our] Five Essentials support workplaces as engines of well-being. Each essential is grounded in two human needs, shared across industries and roles.”

  • “Adopting a trauma-informed approach in the workplace not accomplished through any single particular technique or checklist. It requires constant attention, caring awareness, sensitivity, and possibly a cultural change at an organizational level.”

Progress is a community effort

The same way it takes collaboration between creatives, leaders, and industry changemakers to build more sustainable cultures, it also takes a network of trusted training and facilitation partners to help us deliver on your Both/And Blueprint.
