Ideal state
What is the ideal state?
THE IC METHOD™A disciplined path
A disciplined path
to congruence.
the InCongruence Method™ (The IC Method™) uses five questions to help leaders establish clarity before committing more resources to what comes next. Each facilitated application produces a Congruence Blueprint™ that gives the organization a shared reference for the state it intends to create and how it will know whether it is getting there.

The situation supplies the context. The questions create the discipline.

BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATIONS
How facilitated application works.
The IC Method™ can be used with a recurring problem, a strategy, a program, a product launch, a change initiative, or another consequential decision. Facilitation creates a structured way to use the intelligence already present in the organization.
Co-created
Leaders and participants contribute the knowledge and context that make the work relevant.
Facilitated
Dawne holds the sequence, the inquiry, and the conditions for productive dialogue.
Client-owned
The organization retains authority over conclusions, decisions, and the resulting work.
Action-oriented
The sequence connects clarity to what is accessible now and to evidence that shows whether the intended state is being reached, maintained, or lost.
“Clarity at the beginning creates a stronger basis for every decision that follows.”
The IC Method™ connects intention, conditions, what is accessible now, and evidence so decisions can be evaluated against the state the organization actually intended to create.
FACILITATED COHORTS
When enough leaders are wrestling with the same issue, a cohort opens around it.
From time to time, InCongruence convenes a small virtual cohort around a recurring organizational issue that multiple leaders have identified.
One situation becomes the focus of the facilitated session. Participants experience the IC Method™ in real time, following the inquiry as the issue is examined from ideal state through evidence while considering what the process reveals in their own context.
The cohort offers a way to experience the Method before deciding whether a deeper engagement would be useful for a team or organization.
