Michelle Cooper, RN, MScN launched The Cooper Group Consultants in 1998 to
provide consulting and facilitation services to a broad range of
organizations, associations and communities. As a result of our growth,
the company was incorporated as Integral Visions Consulting, Inc., an
Ontario incorporated company, in December 2001.
Our clients include
health care agencies, small and mid-sized for-profit and not-for-profit
businesses and divisions of larger companies, voluntary and professional
associations, educational institutions, committees and communities.
Although the company is based in Ontario, Canada we are available to
provide services to clients nationally and internationally.
Strategic partnerships
with other consultants from our broad network of associates who share
our philosophy and values enable us to assemble a consultant team with
the expertise and experience that can best help clients to achieve their
goals. The principal team members assembled for the project are
responsible for carrying out the work plan, forming deep and meaningful
relationships with our clients.
We are confident that
Integral Visions Consulting Inc. will exceed your expectations.

Our Approach
Innovation and “out of
the box” thinking requires a different approach. Integral Visions
Consulting Inc. applies organic, whole systems thinking and uses leading
edge processes and facilitation to help organizations to achieve their
goals. Our approach is not what you will experience with traditional
consultation. We use inclusive processes that create “buy-in” and
excitement for everyone. The methodologies are based on solid research
on organizational behaviour and have proven track records worldwide in
small and large companies including public, private and voluntary
organizations and communities.
Our objective is to
build the capacity to achieve and sustain organizational goals and
health. We do not impose rigid models or frameworks, but instead use an
operating system that supports creativity and flexibility and are
founded on knowledge, research and experience. The guiding principles of
our approach are:
 |
Building on your strengths; |
 |
Fostering meaningful relationships; |
 |
Developing internal capacity; |
 |
Inclusive processes; |
 |
Measurable results; |
 |
Building community internally and
externally; |
 |
Seamless integration of communications; and |
 |
Focusing on the future. |

facilitation methods that include

participants, which positively impacts working relationships and
sustainable change. |
