About MuddyHudson


Out of Humanity Comes Great Things

Would you take a drink from the Hudson River?

What's in your water?Neither would I.  Neither would anyone.  The color alone would repel even the thirstiest person.  Maybe if it was triple filtered and someone dared me...

The Hudson is our metaphor for all human enterprise -- all the things people build: businesses, organizations, associations, movements, societies.  Once created, we're constantly filtering to keep them pure.  But as our enterprises stretch out further and wider and touch more people, the water only seems to get murkier.

Here's the wisdom of the Hudson: the life is in the muddiness.  Every bit of brown is nutrient-rich fuel for an entire ecosystem.  Take it out, and you'll kill the whole thing.  But what if we built enterprises like this sort of ecosystem -- tolerant of the mess and maximizing all the richness of our humanity?

That's what we mean by Out of Humanity Comes Great Things.  The successful enterprises of today and tomorrow understand that there is much more to be gained by growing and launching whole people.  Since it doesn't work to filter ourselves and others to get only what we want, why not make the most of ALL we are?  That's what MuddyHudson does: we help people leverage all that they are for growth, effectiveness, productivity, and advancement.

 
Everything is Related

Ok. So change is the only constant. Now what?

Aero-bikeTomorrow will be a new world. And the day after that will be yet another. Change is happening at breakneck speed, and in its wake the world is shifting and fragmenting.

MuddyHudson's cognitive empowerment, self-direction, eduction leadership, capacity building, and collaborative management solutions are survival skills for the emerging environment. We're partners who can catalyze the evolution of your people, processes, and message so you can thrive today and tomorrow. Lay hold of your unrealized potential and latent assets. Connect strength to strength and realize that when Everything is Related in the right way, amazing things emerge.

Listen. Connect. Imagine.

How we do what we do, in three words.

lci_sphereThese three words are our offering and our invitation.  We endeavor to listen well, to see deeply into the realities of enterprises and the people that power them, to even hear what isn't said.  We invite our clients to listen as well, to themselves, to their people, to the market.  We help by being guardians of environment and process.

What listening brings to the surface must connect together in order to be useful.  So we make connections from all the assets and knowledge the community of our clients surfaces.  We leverage these assets for the benefit of all.  In turn, we invite our clients to take these discovered assets, contextualize them, and make new connections with their people and in their processes and systems.  We help by being facilitators of how people and processes and systems relate.

The results of connection are emergent: they include benefits and innovations beyond our ability to predict.  This is why we imagine third.  Until the work of listening and connecting is done, we have no idea what maximum potential or new reality could be released.  We serve our clients by waking latent potential and co-planning how it can lead to new horizons.  We invite them to strike out in boldness to foster something new for their business, their people, their industry, or their community.  We help by being catalyst in the birth of the unexpected.
