Driving slowly down a two-lane road in the Tahoe National Forest.

Data tells you what.

People tell you why.

Nobox gives you the how: People-Centered Strategy That doesn’t take all day.

Two hikers help a third hiker make sure his backpack is sitting on his back correctly at the Volcanoes National Park.

The explosion of information available to businesses has shown that data alone doesn’t eliminate uncertainty. So, how do we develop the understanding we need to make great decisions in the face of constant change?

We’re all facing a daily battle between understanding and action. We need nimble systems that give us the context we need to move forward. Bite-sized, strategic approaches to make each small step clear.

Custom Methods for People-Centric Companies

My advising services help you create space in your workday by developing systems based on your actual business context.

Local Businesses

You know your community and your team are like family.

Build that relational knowledge into systems that support you and your customers.

Team Leaders

You feel like you’re losing the human in the rush to automate.

Develop your relational intelligence to build for what people need, not just what the system can do.

Hi, I’m Tiffany.

I am, first and foremost, curious. My curiosity has taken me from Viacom boardrooms to farm stalls in Uganda to an auditorium full of professional psychics. Every hard problem I've come across has introduced me to smart, caring people who know their stuff but are spinning their wheels. I help them find a new way of seeing things by shifting focus from what to who. I use contextual, applied research methods to develop individual and organization-level relational intelligence: the capacity to see not just what the data shows, but what it means for the people in it.
