About this speaker
Ruffin Associates are consultants and executive coaches in the practice of Dialogic Organization Development. Our focus is on the dynamics of Organizational Identity particularly as it relates to the interdependency of organizational Strategy, Culture, and Brand. We see organizations in these days of VUCA as on-going “conversations” that are in continual change and redefinition, rather than the traditional structural entities of the past. As such, we recognize the critical need to attend to those "core conversations" in organizational life as a matter of course, before the need becomes crucial. We offer our clients a practice of "Conversations that Matter" wherein change, complexity, uncertainty, and generativity are embraced, and which foster the power of collaboration, innovation, and humanity that makes organizations vibrant and most productive.
