Miriam-Webster defines coordination as “the harmonious functioning of parts for effective results.”

STACK is a practice of “coordination” first, and one of “consulting” second.  Consulting isn’t bad – it is just simply insufficient.  Consulting is all about “helping” to “solve a problem.”  It’s not enough.  If we deal with just one issue at a time, in isolation from the others, we run the risk never achieving the first goal of this practice – to achieve, and build beyond, sustainability.  Our problems are so immediate and intertwined, that without sight of the big picture, we lose the ability to see how, and why, our futures are bound up in each other.

Coordinating is the hands-on art and practice of connecting, healing and regenerating. Coordinating is a practice of continually bringing people together into active participation.  Coordinating is a practice of reconnecting the various parts of ‘the whole’ for effective results.

We are interdependent.

Our success is wrapped up in yours.

Together, we can coordinate to build beyond sustainability.
