Look closely at a stalled operation and a stuck conflict and you find the same thing underneath: a system caught in a loop it cannot see. Some of those systems are companies. Some of them are people. Everything in this family exists to serve one or the other — and a few parts serve both.

Some of the names below are practices you can hire, with their own clients and their own sites. Others are the models, software, and books that make the work possible. They are grouped here by who they serve, not by who owns what — which is why PorroVia, Dynamic Mediation, and Dynamic Canvas each appear on both sides: mediation meets people and workplaces alike. For the conviction behind the grouping, read the thread.

The map

Who each part serves

Individual well-being

For a person, or a pair of people, stuck in something that will not resolve on its own.

Organizational well-being

For companies and teams: operations that will not scale, change that will not stick.
