Practices
To enable effective change in organisations and communities it
is vital to involve the ‘whole system’ – that
is all of those people affected, plus their whole being –
mind, body and spirit. Telling their minds is insufficient. Hence
the various Wikima practices:
Methodologies
Our work draws from an extensive, and ever expanding, range of models,
methodologies, systems and skills. The aim is to keep us fresh and
give you access to the approach you need rather than the tool we
happen to have. Methodologies include large group working, organisational
development and transformation, personal and professional development,
and communication and conflict.

Design Teams
Almost all of the ‘whole system’ approaches to organisation
and community change, are characterised by a vital investment in
the planning work, with a 'design team’. This is a well-chosen
cross-section of the stakeholders to be involved in the full change.
Time now ensures relevance and commitment to implementation.

Spirit in practice
Most organisations and communities long for there to be a real and
alive spirit among their people. A sense of life, energy and commitment
to creating something wonderful – be it a product, service
or village community centre. So:
- how do you release and nurture that sense of spirit?
- how do you remove the stifling controls of bureaucracy while
ensuring an appropriate structure and feedback systems?

Right Stuff - the creative arts and other
‘right-brain’ working
In practice, as human beings, our lives are lived as a rich tapestry
of thinking, feeling, sensing, intuiting. Whether consciously or
not, we are responding to life through our minds, bodies, emotions
and spirits. So that’s what needs to come to work and to create
our communities.

Making it real – a note
Are we serious about the kinds of changes we so often apparently
long for and that our organisations honestly need to survive and
thrive? This is what we call Making it real.

Making it real – in practice
Making life in organisations and communities meaningful and real,
is practical work – turning what’s not working into
something effective. Real conversations to make a real difference…
moving to a world we want rather than stuck in misunderstanding
or the stalemate of opposition.
It’s about real work, real experience, real relationships.

Influences & passions
Spicing our Wikima recipes, are a wealth of understandings gleaned
from writers and thinkers we hugely respect – including Meg
Wheatley, Barry Oshry, Barry Johnson and Peter Russell.
