Customized Teams
Jerry and Kathy are the founding partners of Worldview Intelligence™.

Jerry received his PhD from Tilburg University in the Netherlands in 2015. His research and dissertation on Worldviews forms a strong foundation for the Worldview Intelligence work. Kathy has her MBA from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax.
When appropriate in addressing client needs, Kathy and Jerry bring together local partners familiar with the Worldview Intelligence Framework as part of the consulting team.
They are both practitioners and stewards of the Art of Hosting Conversations That Matter, partnering on consulting and training work since 2011. Kathy's company, Shape Shift Strategies Inc, is based in Bedford, NS.

Jerry is the past-President of the Meadowlark Institute, based in Minnesota, an organization committed to developing individual and collective capacity to be flexible during times of rapid change, to be comfortable with uncertainty, to hold multiple points of view simultaneously, and engage in meaningful conversations with those who hold different traditions, values and goals. The work of Meadowlark is now being down as part of Worldview Intelligence.

Nancy BRAGARD - France
A Franco-American consultant, Nancy accompanies individuals and teams of diverse cultures (national and organizational) through systemic transformation. She facilitates change through participative methodologies which allow for the emergence of tacit and often unexploited knowledge. A firm believer of the empowerment conferred through participatory practices and the soundness of the collective intelligence thus released, Nancy optimizes for her clients sustainable actions, as they are identified, crafted and coordinated by the actors themselves.
As an interculturalist, Nancy quickly saw how that work would be enhanced through Worldview Intelligence and as been on board as a valued member of the team since 2016.
