We’re helping to change lives, transform organizations and save the planet.

Our offerings to clients are unique in scope, gifted in experience and inspiring in vision. They present unmatched possibilities for changing lives and reducing preventable harm to the most vulnerable, fostering workplace enthusiasm, promoting stakeholder cohesion and building a gleaming architecture of organizational trust and authenticity.These are the hallmarks of our vision of generative compassion.

For global corporations, public institutions and key players in civil society, these are the values that increasingly represent the determinants of mission success and community approbation.

While each client is different, Generative/Compassion can help every organization unlock untold benefits for its own stakeholders as well as those who depend upon it. It begins by understanding the unique touchstones of generative compassion that are especially relevant to its line of work, and to which the language of compassion must give voice in both times of opportunity and periods of crisis.

Learn more below about how working together we can make this a reality.

01

Leadership that illuminates. Especially in perilous times.

Leadership and compassion are inseparably connected. Wise leaders know this is the time to lead by compassion, and generative compassion is the key to that door. We help leaders prioritize compassion in everything from essential messaging to strategic execution. We present candid assessments of where strengths and opportunities for improvement lie and craft innovative solutions that create competitive advantage and advance stakeholder trust and support. We know the challenges and demands of leaders today and how building a culture of compassion can help to meet those challenges and improve countless lives in the process. It is leaders who use the language, tools and insights of generative compassion who are making a difference in our workplaces, hospitals, universities and municipalities and in our institutions of public governance. We’d like to help you make that difference for your organization.

02

Employee well-being prioritized with generative compassion.

Organizations that give weight to compassion enhance the well-being and productivity of the workplace. They also attract and retain the best talent. We help to identify opportunities to build compassion bridges among employees and create the caring culture that unlocks collaboration, team-building and innovation. When employees see leaders exemplifying and reinforcing compassion as a core organizational value – when words are backed by demonstrable action and resources – they become aligned and engaged to create value, drive positive reputation and meet the increasingly demanding expectations of stakeholders and the public.  

And, yes, we have an app that puts the power of compassion in the hands of employees, too.

03

Building a robust compassion agenda that aligns with the client’s mission to change lives.

 

The science of compassion tells us that organizations work best, and are most respected, when resilience, hope and caring become an integral part of their culture. We take a strategic approach to building a transformative compassion agenda that delivers better outcomes, faster results and more efficient carriage. Our focus is fact-based, evidence-guided and forward-looking. Our strength lies in creating a compassion ecosystem that embraces the whole of the organization and its culture, as well as outside communities. The best compassion agenda always complements an organization’s core values and mission. And it must have the situational placement in the organization to deliver where it is most needed.

We build on the work of our world-renowned advocacy clinics, which have helped thousands to overcome adversity, heal from harm and find a path to recovery. Leaders appreciate our unique record in combatting gender violence and sexual harassment, improving patient safety in health-care settings, providing innovations in mental health delivery and mitigating unintended harms in public policy.

04

Creating communications that gleam with compassion and the voice of authenticity.

 

 

 

The fog of disinformation, the unpredictable gravity of conspiracy theories and the distraction of rolling public skepticism impose a high bar on legitimate message delivery. The litmus test for trust and authenticity has never been more demanding. We help organizations stand up and speak out in new and distinctive ways. Using the vocabulary of generative compassion and our unrivalled strategic communications skills, we help craft compelling narratives and organizational positions that build authenticity, gain attention and win approval.

Compassion-based issues and cause campaigns that are rooted in the common values of our humanity can uplift the world. We know how that’s done. We are happy to partner with trusted organizations that understand the potential of embracing this challenge. 

05

Putting generative compassion into ESG.

Leaning into ESG with a broad repertoire of compassion practices and ideas is an opportunity that few corporate leaders can afford to ignore. The strong connection between compassion and ESG presents a timely synergism for organizations seeking the approval of rating agencies, investors and fund managers. Increasingly, ESG is the filter through which these actors assess a company’s labour relations and workplace conditions, its role as a positive force in the community and among customers, its respect for human rights, corporate citizenship and the environment, and its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Our partnership with The Finlay Centre for Corporate & Public Governance, which pioneered awareness of ESG issues long before the concept was widely adopted, allows us to provide unparalleled advice in building compassion practices that leverage the performance and forcefulness of the environmental, social and governance pillars of ESG.

06

Public relations that actually moves people and ideas.

 

We fill the gap left by traditional PR and government relations practices. By focusing on the creation of a robust culture of compassion, we are able to help build trust, inspire brand loyalty and create strategic narratives that move key players.  The approach we take is especially critical in overcoming widening skepticism about ESG practices and is a game changer in both preventing reputational crisis and managing it to a successful outcome when it occurs. When a leader speaks in the authentic language of compassion, the possibilities to effect positive change in the lives of people and communities, and to strengthen employee retention and well-being, are endless.

 

 

07

Compassion-based crisis prevention and management that changes the playing field.

 

 

We offer the world’s first compassion-based, trauma-informed crisis management service, framed by the unique experience of our advocacy clinics and two decades of supporting victims and survivors in overcoming institutional harm. By incorporating compassion practices that prioritize crisis prevention and build resilience with the science of trauma, we lead organizations to outcomes that are far superior to the results of conventional crisis management efforts.

ESG investors, regulators and the media all bring close scrutiny to how organizations manage crisis, and are quick to inquire what was done to avoid it. Our decades of trauma-informed experience in advocating for individuals who have been injured by sexual misconduct, medical errors, failures in the health-care and mental health systems and the institutional harm regularly caused by public bodies gives us unique perspective, deep insight and unsurpassed skill in how to achieve resolution by responding in a way that fosters empathy, promotes healing and builds trust.
