STRENGTHS-BASED DISRUPTION TO FOSTER THE HUMAN ELEMENT
DON’T SHIFT RESOURCES, SHIFT PARADIGMS.
Working through its unique first principled, human centered, and flourishing-focused framework, Flume’s division for idea(L) development and consulting, exists to foster paradigm shifts that work toward three unique yet intertwined ends:
Cultivate a culture of clarity
Culture is felt in, through, before, after, and above all. Stretching from the leadership to the team, throughout the entire supply chain and unto to the clients or customers, it is not secondary, it is primary and total. And there is no escaping it. Every entity has a culture. Meaning, the question for any organization or company is not if it will have a culture, but rather, what type of culture it will have? Facing this reality, therefore, organizations have two options: have dominion over its culture and intentionally cultivate one of humanity and excellence, or ignore it and allow a culture of confusion, discontentment, and disunity to breed in its place. Flume exists to help entities cultivate the former.
Foster the human element and the unity of human diversity
The human element is of greater importance than it’s ever been. In a world of social media, bots, and AI, basic things like healthy communication, clients feeling seen, heard, and appreciated, and employees having clarity around things like politics and diversity, seem virtually impossible to foster. And it all starts with the human person. After all, before we are clients, customers, or employees, what are we? Human. So, what is a human? What are you? What are we? This is so basic of a question we fail to even ask it. But that is why we are struggling. We do not know what we are. But what if we did? What if we fostered subcultures where our common humanity is our common ground?
Moreover, when it comes to the many challenges that come with “diversity” in today’s world, what if we could foster our vast diversity and unique gifts in like-mindedness toward a common goal? And rather than the awkward and tension-filled ways that are so common today, what if we could do so in a way that fosters common ground, common grace, human flourishing, and an genuine appreciation for our differences? In sum, this is the human element and the unity of human diversity that our world is desperate to experience and feel, and it is what Flume exists to help foster.
Strength-based disruption
Getting rid of a problem is only as good as what they are replaced with. One can pull weeds all day and never plant or cultivate a flourishing garden. One can strive to alleviate the symptoms of a virus but never address their deeper causes. Of even greater value, we see that good can and should always come through the challenges we face. To miss this is to miss out on such things as insight, cultural enrichment, greater visionary like-mindedness, deepened meaning, the growth of human capital, and the vast improvement of things like customer service, workplace engagement, and employee satisfaction. And that is where Flume’s division for idea(L) development and consulting comes in. Name whatever the challenge you are facing and we can help you trace a path toward resolution all the while foster a culture of felt humanity and excellence in its place.
