Mission Statement
Caveat
… when a firm embarks on a major new project, the people involved don’t actually know how they are going to do it… The result, in a successful firm, is a continual swirl of problem-solving activity and ever shifting interactions between the problem solvers…

Join the conversation
…the way in which problems come to be identified and clarified to the point where a solution can be developed is through a process of conversation among people and organizations with different backgrounds and perspectives. Sometimes the process literally is a conversation; more often, conversation is a useful metaphor for the interactions that actually occur.
