Our Approach

The feedback we get is that we are different from other consultants. Our approaches are novel and clients tell us they appreciate our stance. They like that we provide guidance where it’s needed by leading the change process, and that we create the conditions for stakeholders to make the substantive decisions about their own and their organization’s future. We listen closely and always customize our approach for each client. We also own our role as trusted partners.

What makes Insyte’s work unique is that by incorporating various methods and tools learned throughout our 25 years of experience of design and facilitation and combining them with the wisdom and power of Theory U, we have created processes that produce impactful and sustainable results for organizations and the people in them. Theory U has three major stages. We design our processes to follow the same progression:

1. On the “left side of the U” (Sensing) we clarify core questions and key assumptions for the organization and its leaders. The work here is to immerse ourselves in environments that provide insight to those questions and inspiration around the trickiest questions. Decisions typically aren’t made here; the focus is on generative exploration.
2. At the “bottom of the U” (Presencing) we create the conversations and the quiet needed for collective inner knowing to emerge. The task at the bottom of the U – for individuals and for the organization – is to access a felt sense of “knowing”– “Who am I? What is my work?”
3. On the “right side of the U” (Realizing) we engage head, hands and heart to translate intent to action by crystallizing decisions into a strategic framework, activating prototypes of the new and/or building implementation infrastructure.Insyte uses a blend of focused dialogue in large and small groups, learning journeys to places that inspire breakthrough thinking, brief mindfulness practices, dialogue interviews, poetry, art and movement, reflection and more.
