How We Help
We problem-solve.
We aim for root causes and ultimate impacts.
We work with, not for.

ASCETA works with boards, leaders and teams to scale inclusivity and develop real and lasting solutions through:
Strategic Design - facilitating emergent strategy, adaptive culture, and multidimensional team development to create systemic, sustainable impact
Strategic Management - leading teams from idea to impact through facilitative contract management of startup nonprofits, transitional enterprises and culture movements
Experiential Learning - designing transformational, pivotal experiences such as discrete trainings, multi-day retreats, and/or continuous cohort support
Our design-based approach combines the objectivity and rigor of science with the empathy and intuitive insight of art. We customize goals, processes, research, and expert teams to support personal process and achieve collective results.
We believe
that people and organizations adapt best and fastest with experiences that are:
Human-centric, designed with humans, for humans, incorporating key stakeholders’ voices and perspectives in every stage of design and creation, employing many approaches (including visual thinking, role playing, immersion, movement and sense-making) to stimulate engagement, fun, and insight,
Systemic, addressing the interconnections between people, organizations, industries, culture, and society, as well as the assumptions and structural mechanisms (like law and governance) that perpetuate or prevent adaptation, and
Developmental, holding everything and everyone as capable of adaptation and change, and approaching each intervention, interaction, input and iteration as an opportunity for learning and growth.
