The Dendros Group uses participatory methods to build capacity and strengthen client organizations and the communities they serve. Using a facilitative leadership approach, we customize our services to meet the unique needs of each client.
The participatory processes developed by Dendros seeks to inspire people to consider new options, understand diverse perspectives, and find ways to implement change that honors the past and builds into the future.
We challenge groups towards innovative thinking and encourage stakeholders to bring forth new ideas through a diverse range of engagement strategies, information gathering techniques and facilitative leadership.
We believe that all perspectives are important and should be honored. At all points we affirm participation and seek to inspire the best thinking and best behaviors in groups. Operating within a shared leadership framework is a hallmark of all Dendros services.
As an experienced capacity-building firm, we recognize that organizations, like people, operate within distinct developmental stages.
Dendros works with organizations to first assess their developmental needs and then tailor our planning, facilitation and specific services to meet the unique situation of each client.
Dendros' approach is strength-based and asset focused. We assist organizations and their leaders to build and sustain their own capacity. We believe that leadership and performance are inextricably linked. Results matter.

What People Are Saying |
Susan Haigh
President, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity
I
have now served on two boards to whom Dendros provided services – the
first was an organization undergoing dissolution and in profound
turmoil. Dendros’ facilitative leadership, called the
organization back to its values, guided us successfully through the
chaos and ensured strong attention to the business and legal details of
the dissolution. In the transition to the new organization, the
Dendros team helped us create a more robust collaboration of city,
county and community organizations. Thanks to Dendros, we were able to
quickly come to consensus on mission, priorities and future direction.
