Executive Learning Partnership
Executive Learning Partnership is an international network of executive development professionals based in The Netherlands and Belgium. We love working with ELP because they help organizations transform their leaders, so they can transform their strategic direction in a fast-changing world. Using a diverse faculty from business, arts, and sciences (including Adaptive Edge), their programs blend together world-class content, pedagogy, and experiential learning that is relevant, inspiring, and life-changing for many participants. In short, they share our values, practice, and stewardship towards a better model for leadership development and business education.
One Earth
One Earth is a non-profit research and advocacy group based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Its mission is to transform unsustainable consumption and production patterns locally, nationally and internationally. Bill Rees, the co-creator of the ecological footprint concept, is a founder and guiding intellectual light; and co-founders Vanessa and Dagmar Timmer provide tremendous spirit and insight, and host a well received TV show in Vancouver called The Sustainable Region. Adaptive Edge and One Earth are collaborating together on Rethinking the Good Life, a current project and "change lab" focused on innovating better models, mindsets and metrics for how we consume and produce things. Nicole Boyer is also an associate of One Earth.
The World Café Community Foundation
The World Café Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enabling the development and dissemination of the World Café and the practice of "conversational leadership." The World Café is a conversational process that surfaces individual and collective intelligence (a core process we use within our work). Working with co-founders Juanita Brown, David Issacs and president Tom Hurly, Nicole Boyer is part of the stewardship team exploring sustainable resourcing models for the World Café foundation so that it can be a gift that keeps on giving.

La Ruche
La Ruche is a unique workspace for social entrepreneurship based in Paris, France. La Ruche means "beehive" in English. It is a special place where social entrepreneurs can meet and exchange best practices and ideas, and develop projects in a supportive environment. It was started by Charlotte Hochman, and Nicole Boyer is one of the early co-founders and advisors.
Pionners of Change
Pioneers of Change is a global learning community of committed, young people in their 20's and early 30's, from diverse cultural, social, and professional backgrounds. It was created over ten years ago by colleagues and friends because of a shared need for a global peer group devoted to helping each other become change-makers. Being connected to Pioneers of Change remains an important laboratory for our learning— a fecund place for experimentation around how to create the conditions for systemic change at the personal, community and global levels. We enjoy collaborating, mentoring, and learning from our fellow Pioneers whenever possible.
