Methodologies are the frameworks we use to organize, mobilize, facilitate culture work - ultimately, without immense exaggeration, live our lives. Every industry, career, and practice all have methodologies that serve as the building blocks to their foundation. Every action, every program, every meeting follows a specific methodology or multiple methodologies.
