Healthy Systems
Healthy systems are where most of us want to work - as well as the organizations we want to do business with - because they exhibit the following characteristics; they have a clear and compelling mission that fully engages us, they get the basics right, execute well and keep workarounds to a minimum, their structure, culture and people support their mission, they’re resilient and have mechanisms in place to get through tough times, and they’re adaptive to change and capable of self-renewal. And they're a pleasure to work in and with. Here are some of the services I provide to help build healthy systems.

Embodied Wisdom

About Marty Kaplan
My approach to working with people is based on a belief that we're built from the outside-in but we develop from the inside-out. Put differently, our context shapes who we've become and how we behave, but each day we freely choose how we'll deal with the hand we've been dealt and the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Thus, my emphasis on systems, teams and individuals, and my comfort shuttling between these levels.
