At SALT, design thinking extends beyond the built environment. We apply a thoughtful, human-centered approach to systems, procedures, protocols, and client and community experiences, helping organizations navigate complexity and move ideas into action. Our team brings expertise in facilitation, business and organizational planning, stakeholder engagement, project leadership, and implementation. Working with clients across Alaska, SALT helps develop strategic roadmaps that align people, priorities, and resources—supporting informed decisions and meaningful progress in dynamic and changing times.

Strategic Engagement

“Michael and her team have facilitated several board retreats and community listening sessions for the Mat-Su Health Foundation. She sets the table so beautifully for people participating to be real, present, and have their voices heard. She listens deeply and can see the myriad of ways people understand the issue at hand or their nuanced concerns. She and her team have a way of carefully drilling down to the key nuggets that need to be discussed and refined so that progress can happen. And all this happens against a backdrop where values are affirmed, and ground rules are followed. We are grateful for her consultation, facilitation, and partnership in our work.”
