During his\u00a0seventeen year career at Gensler, the exceptional design firm, his positions included\u00a0airport designer, the firm\u2019s applied technology leader, an intrapreneur starting two businesses, and a leader in the firm\u2019s consulting practice. Also included was helping\u00a0birth a dotcom, KIKO, as its director of customer experience. A key lesson learned from these experiences is\u00a0that <strong>the human element plays an essential role in success and failure<\/strong>. Bringing real change to organizations means getting people to agree to change and then giving them a plan\u00a0to carry out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What We Strive For<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Claris Strategy, we develop that plan\u00a0by embracing both qualitative and quantitative information from the outset. This greatly increases the odds for success. <strong>We strive for a human-centered approach<\/strong>, keeping in mind multiple perspectives when forming a solution and developing a road map to follow\u00a0for the people in the organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 class=\"onethird\"><strong>What Makes Us Unique<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"onethird\"><strong>Innovative.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe not only bring in best practices, we often arrive at original ideas from analyzing the information we collect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"onethird\"><strong>Inclusive.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe choose to work closely with our clients.
