About
Your Innovation Navigators
We're named for the Flying Cloud, the 1851 clipper that held the New York–San Francisco speed record for over a century. Not for the romance of sailing ships — for what it took to hold that record: a charted course, a crew that knew their instruments, and no wasted motion.
That's the model for how we run engagements. Every project gets a plotted course before it starts — named waypoints, a defined destination, and scope boundaries that hold. We learned the cost of skipping that step the hard way, on a past engagement that ran without hard boundaries. It doesn't happen twice.
We work across coaching and AI upskilling — through the frameworks we manage, Everything DiSC, RBLP, and Be AI-gile — plus strategic consulting and, when the work requires building it, workshops, fractional advisory, research, instructional design, and strategic technology guidance including LMS selection, for higher education, associations, government, and corporate teams.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion
This commitment extends beyond our own organization into the work we do. We foster belonging through support for diversity in every sense and an inclusive workplace — a culture that carries directly into how we design solutions for the organizations we work with.
A design isn't successful if it isn't accessible in every sense of that word, and doesn't help the organizations we work with move toward a more equitable future.
