    Colum Slevin | Positive Play Experiences, Electronic Arts

  • “Andrea served as an advisor and expert on an important project, 'Redesigning, Redefining Work.' It is an innovative video series about leading research and solutions to reimagine the future of work. Andrea provided insightful recommendations to deepen the user experience and sharpen our learning points making it smarter, more useful, and clearer.”

    Lori Nishiura Mackenzie | Stanford VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab

  • "We worked closely with Andrea + Laura on our performance management transformation and future of work initiatives. They are true innovators and strategic experts around workplace culture, transformation, and employee experience. What makes them special is the time they take to really listen and understand the organization and culture to get to the root of each issue quickly and recommend the most impactful actions. They are not only talented but are also authentic. They have grown to be trusted partners I can lean on for anything."

    Eri Ito | Organizational Effectiveness at Clif Bar

  • "Andrea and her team led discovery for our Ways to Working initiative. Through interviews, documentation review, and on-site observations they gained strong insight into where the organization was productive and opportunities for improvement. From the findings they developed a strong implementation plan that carefully navigated potential pitfalls. We look forward to leveraging their expertise as we continue our journey."

    Scott Ahrendt | Owner and Business Advisor, Decision Counsel

  • "ARCx brought our leadership team together not just for the day but in a lasting, meaningful way. Their process produced a deep understanding of our culture that built trust, and the exercises engaged real world muscles while being delightfully unassuming. We are smitten!"

    Akemi Tom | Director of Visitor Insights, The California Academy of Sciences

  • Working with Andrea and team was an opportunity to have true subject matter experts deploy a data-driven, thoughtful, and refreshingly humanistic approach to organizational redesign. The team has a way of adopting the mentality and values of your business that demonstrates a level of care and consideration that is rare to find in folks working on a contracted project. Not only was the experience incredibly valuable to our organization, but I am also a more seasoned and knowledgeable professional for having gotten to learn from them throughout the process. Anyone would be lucky to have Andrea and her team step in to assist in their organizational design and ways of working needs.
