ABOUT US

For Flock's Sake

Equity in Expertise

We're a diverse community (ahem… flock) of thought leaders and learners defying traditional silos to skill, reskill, and upskill the workforce, from stage to screen, bookshelf to boardroom, and classroom to congress.

What is Flock Theory Anyway?

Whether it’s the shoaling behavior of fish, the swarming behavior of insects, or herd behavior of land animals, flocking behavior is a beautiful thing to behold.  We love geeking out on the academic study of social identity, collective social behaviors, and their application to systems of people.  As a company, a community, an industry, and a society, Flock Theory speaks to the tenants of collective performance unleashed. 

“I come as one, but stand as 10,000.”

Maya Angelou

Distribution

The balance between short-range autonomy and long-range cohesion.

Alignment

Steering towards a shared direction, heading, and goal.

Velocity

The capacity of individual to maintain a shared rate of progress.

Diversity

The distributed leadership that keeps the flock fresh and focused.

That Sounds Serious

It is, but we're not.

“Brant was the perfect choice as we were looking for something a little different than the "standard" presentation. He delivered a raw, emotional and powerful presentation that incorporated his love of music in a compelling and unique way.
