Equipping Minds for the 21st Century
The most valuable asset an organization has today is the capacity of its people for effective action in the face of uncertainty and ambiguity.
At the heart of effective action is the complexity with which people are able to make sense of the situations in front of them, and to take right action to effect desired outcomes as they relate to those situations.
We believe that the primary work of organizational leaders today—whether executive leaders and managers, team leads, or organizational coaches—is to enable and empower effective action in the face of uncertainty and ambiguity, by cultivating people’s inner capacity for complex sensemaking.
The mission of Evolvagility is to help leaders at all levels to grow their ability to cultivate such a capacity for complex sensemaking both within themselves and the people around them.
Three Developmental Learning Trajectories
Evolvagility is an ecosystem of distinctions and practices to equip transforming leaders, at all levels, with the skills and capabilities necessary to facilitate developmental growth for, and with, individuals, teams, and broader organizations. Toward this end, we offer programs, courses, webinars, and short seminars, as well as a variety of media resources to help you learn and grow across three developmental learning trajectories.
Growing Your Self
For those of us who see ourselves as transformation leaders, there is the blunt recognition that, in order to catalyze transformation around us, we must also catalyze transformation within ourselves.
Our curriculum for inner development offers courses, seminars, and other resources that leverage a unique technology for personal development to catalyze the inner deep shifts needed to bring about highly impactful, transforming leadership in the world.
Growing Groups & Teams
You could say that sensemaking begins with teams and groups—they are the petri dish for larger, organizational sensemaking. The ability to catalyze transformational learning—what we call vertical learning—in groups is therefore key to organizational growth
The Vertical Facilitator is a course that is tailor-made for coaches, managers, and facilitators whose charge it is to create trainings and interventions that yield profound shifts in people.
Growing Organizations
In order to succeed in today’s complex, post-Covid, world, organizations need to adopt organizational learning strategies that focus on growing the inner sensemaking complexity of people across the organization. Such growth doesn’t just happen—it must be deliberately cultivated.
We offer training and development for leaders and enterprise coaches who are charged with igniting transformation at the level of the organization.
