Our company specialises in Asset Based Community Development and Appreciative Inquiry, both very similar methodologies that challenge the deficit/service delivery model. The traditional problem-based approach to community development is limiting, disempowering and can in some cases be harmful to communities, particularly marginalised groups.
We are passionate about creating opportunities that improve the lives of people and communities, creating the 'soil' that helps them thrive and flourish.
Taking on an asset-based and appreciative approach when working with people and communities places the focus on what is working well and what helps human systems flourish and thrive which is a key focus of our work.
