A breakthrough is a striking leap in results—discontinuous from past performance.
Conventional approaches are “additive and linear”—introducing new information, skills, policies, technologies, or logically reorganizing, planning, and so forth. This approach deals with the content of an organization, much like a mechanic fixing an engine or a bridge, and can provide incremental improvement. Breakthroughs require a different frame of reference: The nature of organizations is not simply linear or content–rather, organizations are non-linear and contextual in nature–what scientists call “complexity.” Non-linear: organizations contain a multitude of different ways individuals and groups interact and influence each other, forming matrixes that do not work linearly. Contextual: culture is the medium shaping thinking, communication, behavior—normally-invisible, and yet decisive in its influence!
Crossroads method is non-linear and contextual, rapidly and permanently altering what is possible for an organization. We have a track record of proven results for over 30 years.
Our style is more like coaching than teaching, more like conversation than lecture. We inquire with you, and heighten your insight and thinking.
Whenever you are limited, as an individual, group, or organization, there is something unseen, something you are blind to, that holds that limitation in place–whether in the area of communication and relationship, collaboration and innovation, or strategy and effective action. Crossroads method enables you to reveal blind spots—see them clearly, find out how they got there, and step beyond them. The constraints of the past disappear. The change is immediate and permanent.
