What is Coherence?
"Truth is a whole that must be so interdependent that every element in it necessitates and even entails every other element. " - Brand Blanshard
What is Coherence?
Coherence is a framework for creating fulfilling success for humans and human enterprises. By connecting Purpose with Performance. Purpose translates into performance through a series of "lenses". Acknowledging and aligning these lenses creates the clarity that allows purpose to align with Performance.
Some of features Coherence are :
1. Recognizing the cascade - where a deeper / intrinsic human quality guides and defines the successively more outward oriented qualities; eventually resulting in the outcome valued by our stakeholders.
2. Engaging Mind and Heart – where the logical and emotional aspects at each level are dynamically congruent. For organization, this speaks of the resonance between the “Strategic Cascade” and the “Cultural Cascade”.
3. Aligning with Intent : On an ongoing basis, systems are oriented toward serving the expectations of their stakeholders. However, over the longer term, we find that the commitment towards stakeholders is a tangible reflection of a deeply held Purpose. Over the long term, Coherence unfailingly serves our intrinsic Purpose.
How is Coherence Deployed?
While we have our perspective on what might constitute a "whole" in any context; we do not pre-suppose the clients' needs. We build appreciation for the context and the dilemma and provide solutions as sought by clients; taking care to ensure that they are Coherent in terms of the cascade, the resonance between logical and emotional aspects and the consciousness of the explicit outcomes sought.

Help Business Families Craft Coherence
Family Businesses are a major influence in any nation's economic as well as cultural framework and outcomes. These can be places of great contribution, creativity and affiliation. However, they too are subject to entropy as different generations, extended family stakeholders, professionals, advisors and Boards bring well intentioned divergence based on their own needs and worldviews. Coherence has to be crafted with head and heart!
An objective Assessment of Family Coherence using our proprietary framework of Coherent Families allows us to design interventions in Creating Family Coherence, Planning for Succession, Next Gen Development and helping Professionals experience their version of success while contributing to the family purpose and business outcomes.
