Our Approach

The Salzburg Method

We host small, intimate groups of people who are genuinely different from one another. Our sessions provoke real discussion and allow space to explore the gray areas where new, better possibilities lie.

We call this approach The Salzburg Method – a set of seven principles that we have tried, tested, and refined over 75 years of convening.

  1. Gathering divergent voices, not convergent views
    We curate groups of people from varied backgrounds with different expertise.

  2. Creating transformational spaces, not predictable sessions
    We create experiences that promote deeper thinking and reflection.

  3. Leveling the playing field, not elevating the "stars"
    We remove hierarchy, choosing to treat everyone the same.

  4. Making it relational, not just transactional
    We tailor the sessions for the individuals to create a remarkably personalized setting.

  5. Prioritizing in-depth conversations, not quick and easy answers
    We take the time to explore topics without the need for tidy conclusions.

  6. Welcoming the unexpected, not clinging to the script
    We keep the agenda flexible, adapting to each group’s emerging needs.

  7. Inspiring collaborative action, not just personal reflection
    We lay the foundations for real-world action off the back of our sessions.
