OUR PROCESS
HOW WE HELP YOU THRIVE
Follow the Sun helps organizations create solutions that support healthier ways of living and working, following the rhythms of the natural world.
The Future is Now
There’s never been a better time for organizations to transform into more resilient, adaptable, and inclusive organizations.
We are living in a time when solely relying on linear and technical ways of thinking are no longer sustainable. The future landscape is emergent, unpredictable, and complex. This creates an invitation for teams to unlearn old ways of working that focused predominantly on predictability and instead move towards a more adaptable, human-centered way of being.
ORGANIZING FOR THE FUTURE
A resilient and adaptable organization focuses on defining who they are, how they operate, and how they grow. When we shift our mindset and behaviors from a reactive to a creative state, we design processes and systems that are human-centered, equitable, and sustainable.
The Journey
Follow the Sun uses a transformational arc for teams to integrate learnings and create sustainable change.
WHO WE ARE
Who are you in the face of uncertainty? What belief-systems drive your organization?
We start our journey by looking at who we are at this moment. Understanding our current state of thinking strengthens our understanding of ourselves and deepens connections on the team. We begin a journey into a more human-centered approach to work.
HOW WE OPERATE
What tools does your team rely on to create innovative solutions? Does your team have a belief in how stress plays a role in innovation?
Many teams believe that creating, designing, or innovating belongs to a certain department or that it can only be accomplished outside of work. We learn how operating in a more creative state at work can be accomplished by any team at any time. Together we redefine work as an opportunity for flow.
HOW WE GROW
How does your organization transform conflict? Does your organization react or respond to change?
To become resilient organizations in the face of uncertainty and change, we develop further transformational leadership skills that allow us to hold big emotions, practice deep listening and transparent communication, and respond instead of reacting to differing priorities and perspectives. We learn skills that ultimately create a resilient and inclusive culture that thrives in the face of uncertainty and change.
