Values | About Our Name
The Ginger Group Collaborative began in 2000 as an extended conversation among three experienced organizational consultants: Diana Smith, Kate McLaren and Anne Wright.
We were intrigued by the special qualities and challenges of collaborative enterprises and relationships. We knew vision and good planning were necessary, but not sufficient, for partnerships to thrive.
As solo practitioners, we needed each other's support to explore the complexity of human systems, to take risks, to move beyond our comfort zones. Since then, the Ginger Group Collaborative has welcomed affiliates from throughout Canada and the United States. We’ve become a registered non-profit community of practice. In addition, we have launched the Ginger Group Social Enterprise, through which select affiliates work with clients and communities to help them achieve their vision.
We are committed to dynamic solutions,
respectful process, profound
relationships, and sustainable
results.
