What We Do
We work as advisors, coaches, and consultants to help sharpen strategies, retool practices, and build aligned and engaged teams at the leadership and board level.
Each engagement, like each client, is unique and may have more than one area of focus – we are typically sought out during times of change for help in these areas:
Our Strategy & Change Management engagements typically range in length from 6 weeks to 6 months, which provides the time and focus to help create lasting change.
Strategic Planning – A structured process to help organizations define success, make the right strategic tradeoffs, and align their operational, programmatic, organizational and financial resources around the vision.
Change Management – A rigorous, collaborative approach to help organizations close the gap between what is and what’s possible.
Additionally, we occasionally take on one-off projects for leaders with more focused needs including:
Meeting Design & Facilitation – Leadership of board retreats, staff off-sites, and large-scale retrospectives.
Team Enablement – Coaching on the practices and architecture of quality “agile” c-level leadership teams.
Executive Coaching – Individualized development programs to become the leader your organizations needs.
What Makes Us Different
Ethical Ventures was founded out of a unique and complementary partnership between Lisa Lewin and Bob Gower.
Our work is animated by a belief that organizations can change the world. However we’ve seen too many world-changing organizations fail to reach their full potential because they either lack operational discipline, or are bound by paradigms that no longer work in today’s volatile and complex environment.
Our experience combines traditional work at the highest levels of the academy and business, with experimental and innovative work from startups and the leading edges of organization design and systems theory.
Our commitments to you:
We will work with you to design a program suited to your needs, scale, and budget.
We will help you achieve clarity about what can be done, and build the capacity to take make it real.
We will never take on any project that doesn’t meet the necessary pre-conditions for success.
Your project will get focused attention, personally, from Lisa and Bob.
