Inventing the future—together
Are you maximizing your team’s collective intelligence? Are turf-wars harming your organization’s ability to innovate and change? Is your intellectual capital underused?
Change forces organizations to be agile and innovative. Thriving organizations recognize and use their webs of distributed and co-creative intelligence because only the agile will prosper.
Action Learning Labs team coaching is a vehicle for development and change. Our unique group process addresses: agility, adaptation, co-creation, divergence, instability, conflict, purpose, and action.
Our coaching method is easy to incorporate, but also empowering. Action Learning Labs team coaching is for people who must collaborate to invent, share knowledge, share experience, and share perspectives. Team members gain a vantage point from which new and agile behaviors emerge.
New perspectives often uncover previously hidden possibilities—options for action. Participants will gain a new and more flexible approach to leadership, innovation, and change. Whether you need performance improvement, group agility, or you’re organization is in the midst of complete systems change, please contact Mitch Saunders.
Leadership teams must invent the future—not be victims of it.

How do you approach an unseen future?
As a leader, the pressure is on. The buck stops with you. You need to be decisive. You need to lead.
Your team looks to you for direction, expertise, and authority. But where do you go to test your perceptions? And how do you challenge your assumptions? And what do you do when you discover some of those assumptions are wrong?
Our coaching method is for pioneers like you. When you face conflict, when your situation is complex and unstable, then our coaching expertise will help you adapt to new realities. You’ll gain a new perspective on your situation. You’ll uncover previously hidden possibilities—options for action. You’ll have space and help to incubate ideas and bold, new moves—in private.
Whether you need performance improvement, personal agility, or you’re in the midst of a radical change for yourself or your organization, please contact Mitch Saunders.

The Agility Lab
This is an ongoing learning laboratory for leaders who wish to boost their effectiveness. Each session, a member brings his/her most sensitive questions and dilemmas, or exciting opportunities, and together we explore the case in detail. We go beyond talking about the issues and merely sharing opinions. We use simulation and modeling and we conduct fast-cycle experiments to test likely consequences of proposed ideas, decisions and actions. We also practice new behaviors, including ways to overcome resistance and fatigue when trying to implement something new in a larger system.
Partnerships That Work
This two-day workshop will enhance your ability to form and evolve satisfying, resilient relationships—both personal and professional. You’ll learn about effective endings and beginnings, setting and changing expectations, as well as discovering ways to cultivate shared interests and passion. More dynamic and interactive than a typical class, this program will provide you an opportunity to experiment with simple yet powerful principles and practices you can take with you.
What’s Yours To Do?
You’re not unusual if you look into the mirror and hear yourself saying: “At this stage of my life, I have all these different opportunities. My world seems to be expanding not contracting; but which of these options makes sense for me to pursue NOW? What am I REALLY supposed to be doing? I’ve proven that I can accomplish many things. But I can’t help feeling at times that I’m acting out someone else’s script. What’s MINE to do?” This two-day workshop is designed to help you answer this question and begin to create a vision and focus for your life.
