We Are…
We Are Arising helps groups of people make better decisions.
Better means better for the individuals, the team, the organisation, stakeholders, community, future generations and and the ecosystems upon which our economy and society depends.
[ Note: Currently Andrew (founder) is happily working full-time with the City of Geraldton-Greenough. We Are Arising still exists as an enterprise for social good, and has 3 non-profit projects for 2010. You can can learn more about them at current projects, or explore further in past projects. ]
Individuals and organisations seek us out with a range of needs, all of which affect the quality of decision-making:
- Clarity about their own intentions and priorities, and how to translate that into effective and timely action for social end ecological benefit,
- Insight into how to navigate or actually shift the dynamics (social, ecological, financial) inside their own organisations, their communities, and in the world around them,
- Fresh perspectives and creative approaches to challenges, opportunities and ways of working,
- Regular and ongoing support from a coach / mentor with an extensive toolkit of techniques and resources.
The activities typically involved in responding to these needs includes design and delivery of staff/community engagement processes, leadership programs, facilitation, training, coaching, research and strategic planning. These activities can be grouped into three areas of work:
Developing collective intelligence and unleashing collective intent
We work to inspire collective action through pooling, organising, and developing collective intelligence in organisations, communities or networks.
Growing social innovation, businesses and entrepreneurs
We support social entrepreneurs and social businesses in their efforts to be effective and resilient when faced with growth and change while meeting their communities most pressing needs.
Learning through action, inquiry and feedback
We facilitate individual, organisational and ‘system’ learning through action, inquiry, and creation of ongoing feedback systems that build on what’s working to reach success.
