    How engagements work

    1. Scoping. A conversation to define the dilemmas at stake and who needs to be involved.
    2. Design. A bespoke process, often informed by interviews and research.
    3. Delivery. Workshops, retreats or a series of sessions, in person or virtual.
    4. Follow-through. A written synthesis and support for putting the work to use.
