Novos Consulting is a civic-minded organizational strategy and coaching consultancy operating at the nexus of politics and innovation. WHAT NOVOS IS HERE We collaborate with leaders, teams and organizations making change (‘novos’) in political spaces. We do this by aligning authentic purpose with strategic objectives for sustainable, positive impacts. OUR APPROACH We blend theory with proven strategies that deliver results measurable, experiential and transforming. ‘Novos’ (change) is complex and in constant flux. Each part of the change puzzle – individual, organizational and social – is interconnected, influencing and feeding off of known and to be determined factors. Awareness and appreciation guide the way Novos works. We collaborate with our civic-minded clients to anticipate, address and adapt to your transitions. We think and see the ‘Big Picture’. We act with swift feet and a meticulous attention to detail. Novos has a high tolerance for uncertainty – rather than shying away, we work with resistance through meaningful communications and authentic engagement. • • • • • • • Authentic Leadership Political Intelligence Organizational and Social Psychology Communications Strategies Management Effectiveness Community Organizing Coaching OUR COMMITMENT Confidentiality, trust, honesty, quality, communication - and a good laugh – are the foundation of our client relationships. • • • • • • • • • • Listen.
