Values
What we will not violate in the service of our mission
Partnership & Independence: We are committed to creating strong partnerships with clients, which are grounded in an understanding of each organization’s individual needs and aspirations. We aim to leave clients in positions of organizational strength and independence, building capacity, not dependency.
Gravity & Levity: We take our work seriously because our clients do serious work. We also believe deeply that levity facilitates the challenging work of progress and change.
Professionalism & Authenticity: Our practice engages every client relationship with professionalism. Additionally, we never compromise our authenticity, honesty, and independent voice to help clients realize their mission.
Expertise & Continuous Improvement: Our core team brings seasoned expertise in education and organizational planning, and draws support from a cadre of content specialists. At the same time, we are deeply committed to continuous improvement and to learning from each client.
Method
Our unique value proposition
Bloom embraces the necessary tension between process and outcomes. Thoughtful relationships and creative tension make desired outcomes possible. Ultimately we believe only honest, determined planning efforts – supported by strong, mission-oriented relationships – make organizations operationally ready for the change to which they aspire.
At Bloom we view every client project as a partnership. To that partnership, both our planners and our clients bring deep experience in their fields. We provide active, expert guidance that leverages this experience to nurture change and growth as well as to empower clients’ realization of their missions in fuller, more effective action.
We build these relationships through trust. Bloom planners have proven records of successful work with organizations that are committed to purposeful work and change. Our method emphasizes thoughtful, engaged planning, beginning with our very first conversations with prospective clients.
