The Grove is a San Francisco-based consultancy and publisher that offers services and tools to help organizations, teams, and individuals successfully envision and implement change. Founded in 1977 by Grove president and organizational consultant David Sibbet, The Grove has helped a range of clients, from Fortune 500 businesses to nonprofit organizations, meet a diverse set of organizational challenges and achieve their goals.

Our approach to planning and organization change is a unique combination of expert facilitation and panoramic visualization. We use Graphic Guides® templates and other highly customizable tools and processes to generate dialogue, create alignment, articulate a vision, and catalyze action. Using our skills, creativity, and high-impact graphic tools, we help our clients see the big picture and move toward their desired future.

Our consulting, design, training, and product development groups work collaboratively in the heart of one of the most exciting new-media communities in the world. The Grove’s offices overlook the Golden Gate Bridge in the Presidio of San Francisco and are located in the Thoreau Center for Sustainability between George Lucas’s Letterman Digital Arts Center and the San Francisco Film Centre.

From this base, The Grove is at the core of a worldwide network of more than forty consultants, designers, and other practitioners using visualization to guide change and transformation, as well as numerous other affiliated companies. We have been recognized by the Organizational Development Network, an international association of organization-development practitioners, for our innovative work in this field.
