iD7 Community Focus
Our insights help communities innovate the way they see themselves and what is possible for now and the future.
Communities are made up of many different types of people. Each person has their preferences and way of seeing things. When you get a lot of people together things can get complicated especially if they don’t know or understand one another. One of the things we do is that we fill in the blank of what we don’t know about others and we let it stand. We let stand many times even if we have meant the person and know the truth about them. This almost ensure that their our future together is very bleak and limited. We work with communities for them to see their difference as a strength and learn how to use them to accomplish their goals and liver their dreams.

There are so many abilities and perspectives that could help the communities. As they see more and more people getting involved and invested the more they will have hope for change.

Community Reconciliation
We know that in many of our communities there to have been a great deal fighting, hurting and injustice. Part of the path toward a thriving culture is acknowledgement of wrong doings and forgiveness. We believe that this can begin with the desire for reconciliation and open going dialogue. We believe that we can help facilitate these conversations and even provide ongoing insights to help each person move toward healing and wholeness.

Design thinking is a process ideal for generating insights about human problems in order to create innovative approaches to address those issues. We have developed a model for change that combines design thinking competencies with our human motivational design paradigm and thinking. It is used to bring innovation and change in our communities that are win win for everyone. It has the mental framework that honors each person’s position and seeks to work in a way to see it realized.
Culture Building + Repair
It is important that we adopt the values, beliefs and convictions that will allow us to change things. We can’t continue to be as we were ands change. We have to believe that each person is a valuable part of the community and deserves the same rights. Where this hasn’t been the case we need to work to make that a reality through our communities.
Promote Mental + Social Wellness
We believe that one of the major impacts we can make in a community is nurturing of the idea that everyone person has intrinsic value. Fostering and demonstration this idea will revolutionize any group that is willing to implement and develop it. The way we think about ourselves is a product of how other see us. We have a collective responsibility to make every person feel valued.
