Paul Winslow, winslow + partners, ideas for a changing world
Specific expertise in facilitation and planning, which forms the basis of winslow + partners.
Educational Planning: Almost every school, district, college or university is facing the challenge of understanding where they are in the transition from where they have been to updated models that reflect the needs of their current community. Assistance in facilitating that understanding of the existing and the transition to the new, is a service we can provide. Since each school, campus and community is unique, based upon many years of experience, our facilitation process is tailored to meet those specific challenges with economy, curriculum, technology, and community in mind.
Innovation Think Tank

Design thinking is a facilitated “brainstorming” protocol that combines creative and critical thinking to generate innovative approaches to any given business problem or situation.
Our Innovation Think Tank process can be applied to products, services, processes and anything that needs to be improved. In an economy where things are changing constantly this kind of solution based thinking can give your business an upper hand.
