- Building understanding and fostering cooperation through effective communication
- Helping to form transition plans during times of leadership change
- Mediating resolution of conflicts among individuals and organizations
- Assisting organizations in building lasting collaborative relationships, internally and externally

- Assisting executive staff, board or council in self-management during high organizational stress
