The experience you need at the level you need it
Organization
Organizational strategies, structures, programs, and processes often operate 'in the red'. Of course there is no real debt, but there are real human and organizational costs to inadequate organizational initiatives. At Archetype we care deeply about the real challenges and openings your organization and its people are faced with, and will help you grapple with them through a purposeful, thoughtful, and ethical process of learning, decision making, design, and development that yields breakthrough results, and leaves behind a blueprint for future success.
Group or Team
Hackman (1990) called the paradigm from which most teams operate a “framework of givens”. This is to say that teams spontaneously and tacitly devise their modus operandi within the first few moments of coming together. It will not surprise you that approaching groupwork in this fashion is very likely to negatively impact the group’s capacity, potential, and the well-being and development of its members. Whether your team is at the startup stage, growing or changing, seeking even higher performance, adjusting to virtual or hybrid work, or looking to engage in group processes like strategic planning, goal setting, group/team coaching, or retrospectives, Archetype can help your team perceive its challenges, opportunities, and performance through new lenses, and craft approaches to its critical tasks that provide the structure, setting, support, and strategies that will make full use of the skill and will of its members.
Individual
Our workplaces routinely serve up challenges that invite us to reflect, perhaps on our self-images, maybe on our taken-for-granted assumptions, possibly to see our own and others’ current and past behaviours from new perspectives. We’re also afforded openings to figure out how to manage ourselves, our teams, and our organizations more effectively. However, many internal and external barriers can keep us away from engaging in critical reflection, building self-awareness, changing our perspective, and developing the skills with which we could meet the demands and opportunities of our professional lives. Working one-on-one in a focused and intensive fashion with a skilled and sensitive professional can not only provide refuge from the noise of daily life within which to learn and develop, but also provide a partner who will challenge and support you to see and do what would be most helpful now and in the future..
