A bundling of change and innovative power
Communityprocessing involves the expertise of Anke and Gert Jan and their extensive experience in change management, conflict resolution and innovative processes in various fields such as child welfare, criminal justice, health care and the social domain.
Communityprocessing brings together all valuable insights and opinions of the different participants and parties involved. Participants work collectively on a positive change by creating and realising new stories. We use inclusive decision making: which means the views of all groups and each participant will be heard.
We work towards the future on the basis of stories, experiences and the needs of the participants. We also give consideration what needs to be restored, based on past events and behaviour or future expectations.
Within communityprocessing we estimate conflicts as a driving force for change: we do not avoid them but use the underlying diversity of interests and the related decision making and control. Ownership of a situation becomes part of the participants themselves.
