Even the most talented groups are silently hindered by a fear of making mistakes that impedes risk-taking, distrust that creates friction, and egos that block insights. Through our work with Fortune 500s and governments over the last 15 years, we have learned a fundamental truth: teams that are aware of their own emotional, cognitive, and relational dynamics can overcome the internal friction that limits them and increase their rate of adaptation.
While this is conventional wisdom for many, the consulting model for unlocking these insights has a fundamental limitation: its impact, while powerful, is both episodic and expensive to scale. Recognizing this challenge, we launched Slipstream, a new technology venture, designed to solve this problem at scale. Our solution augments deep foundational expertise in systems thinking, collaborative design, and decision science with the expertise of leaders in secure, enterprise-level development.
