As a function, The Clarion Institute is the cognitive center where we develop and adapt the tools that we use in our advisory work with clients. While we are not bound to rigid models and frameworks, we recognize their importance in reframing issues and clearing the way for solution options to emerge. Our work viewed through The Clarion Institute allows the cache of tools that we use to constantly evolve in response to changing needs.

As an orientation to learning, The Clarion Institute is a mindset shared by all of our advisors to continually advance our thinking about how people and organizations work. Our staff members come from a variety of educational and business backgrounds. Each contributes a unique point of view that informs our work and adds a distinct ridge to our collective fingerprints.

Distilling the essence of our experience through The Clarion Institute prompts us to be open in our thinking. Beyond our individual life experiences, we learn from:

• Leading edge thinkers in our fields
   
• The diversity, complexity and shifting range of our clients’ experiences
   
• The shared insights generated by The Clarion Group Team as we collaborate and discuss client issues, possible approaches and the linkages to all elements of the Operating Model.
