INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS
what would you like to explore? what would you like to leave with?
Are you interested in improving your workplace, the local economy, or your organization's business? Our techniques can help make these topics interesting and fun and include online as well as in-person formats.
We can also link larger frameworks such as strategic plans to daily tasks and the small steps necessary to implement larger ideas and concepts.
"Sarah brings a new perspective to the issue of waste within the field of sustainability... a gifted speaker who addresses this subject with intelligence, enthusiasm, and wit. Sarah takes the idea of 'trash talk' to a new level." Jim Lutz, AIA Co-director UMN MS Sustainable Design program on guest lecturing about waste for the University of Minnesota Architecture + Ecology course:
CONSULTING
Our projects respond to constraints of context, funding, and time. To identify what solutions may address your needs, we engage in design thru dialogue, presenting several options for review and discussion. We look for feasible actions and projects that best support the intentions and timeframe for implementation.
We can provide simple low-tech solutions to many of your wishes, and help you prioritize + phase more costly improvements. By considering individual elements as well as the overall system, we link bits and pieces to the big picture. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods, we present information to allow you to make the best decision for your community.
Our value is in our knowledge breadth + our network depth: if we don't know the answer, we will connect you with someone that does! Contact us for a free intake conversation!
"I was very impressed by your work, your grasp of the material, intellect in assessing it, and your delivery... It helps us all to have a new set of eyes on internal processes and reporting that have, admittedly, evolved in a reactive way to deal with this or that situation. While this document has been working acceptably in recent years, there’s no question that improvements can and should be made, and your suggestions help us to do that more effectively." Jay Johnson, the Weidt Group
