Our Team
We are very unconventional. We have created our own "organization", invented the rules for this "new reality" and "hired" ourselves to fulfill it.
A good team is not good enough. So we became business-artists, whole-brainers and risk-challengers. We also KNOW that techniques are not everything so we strive to become sophisticated and genuinely articulate.
Talk to us.
Our Management
Our management style is management in style. Now more than ever we are clamped with a plethora of management principles and business trends. Mostly in the name of efficiency and productivity, but why not all those things PLUS creativity and humor?

What is Idea Mapping?
Idea mapping has a rich foundation in Mind Mapping®, originated by Tony Buzan in the 1960s. Tony defines it this way:
A mind map harnesses the full range of cortical skills word, image, number, logic, rhythm, color and spatial awareness in a single, uniquely powerful technique. In doing so, it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanse of your brain.
Idea maps enhance your ability to make connections synergistically between widely disparate events, ideas and information by providing a way to simultaneously see the big picture and the connections between ideas at the same time.
Idea mapping is a hybrid tool that combines the positives of the mind mapping laws with the freedom to break them. The feedback from skeptical, overworked, linearly-trained business professionals has caused the creation of idea maps as the practical, flexible, and more usable version of mind maps. Once the guidelines and techniques of idea mapping are established and learned, youll be breaking everyone of them to make these maps apply to you in the most effective way possible. You will be the creator of the style that works for you!

Idea Mapping is a powerful whole-brained visual thinking tool that enhances memory, note-taking skills, thought organization, planning, creativity, and communication. It uses color, keywords, lines and images to connect thoughts
associatively. Idea Maps are the natural
expression of the way the brain processes
information associatively.
Retreat Maximization
Forward is most effective in working with teams. As a matter of fact, team building is one of our favorite things to do! Under-utilized teams are unhappy places so we aim to wipe them out through experiential leadership and communication techniques that deal with the mundane status quo.
Analyze Your Business
Business measuring sticks are all but too general. They provide a good "know" of where your business is but they key is the "how to" following all the score cards and evaluations.
We provide post-SWOT strategies and plans that deliver exceptional opportunities.
Entrepreneurship
Strategy is one thing, being in the zone is another. Using a creative model of coaching and extremely personalized walk-thrus we can nurture not just your organization but the "why" of the organization. The story behind the story.
Training
Forward offers a wide range of workshops to address topics of frustration and under-utilization within business, organizations and teams.
If you have specifics, please talk to us. We offer robust yet agile classes.
