Accelerating human-centered workplaces through culture, systems, and relationships
About
What is intersections collaborative™ ?
intersections collaborative™ offers a unique balance of analytical consultation and human-centered thought-partnership. We are rooted in the belief that personal and organizational transformation occur through vulnerable communication and equity-centered systems.
intersections collaborative™ partners with schools and organizations across sectors to leverage the culture, systems, and relationships necessary for thriving.
Unfortunately, most organizations struggle with unhealthy dynamics operating under the surface:
-
Harm and distrust that cause employee disengagement and attrition
-
Ineffective systems and data that inhibit accountability and impact
-
Siloed communication and hierarchical mindsets that prevent collaboration and innovation
We help organizations respond to these dynamics through a variety of services: executive coaching, workshops on race and gender literacy, strategic planning, data dashboards, and impact evaluation. Clients can expect support that is:
-
Customizable and adaptable
-
Values aligned
-
Responsive to needs
-
Impact driven
