For over 20 years Scott has had one foot in the university and the other outside of it. He frequently engages with companies, organizations, and communities to increase their capacity to tackle complex challenges and achieve priority strategic outcomes. Scott has worked with over 500 organizations and communities…
…from The White House and Fortune 100 companies
…to 100-year-old local businesses and brand new tech start ups
…from global nonprofits and large universities
…to rural towns and small communities of faith
Despite the scale and specific contexts, the common threads running through all these engagements are related to leaders facing complexities they can’t control and a realization that old tools and approaches are not working. This is where Scott’s work is most valuable. He’s established Hutcheson Associates, LLC to manage these engagements.
The following are some of the ways Scott has helped these organizations and communities. Perhaps they may be helpful to you as well.
Strategic Doing. Not only is Scott a co-author of Strategic Doing: Ten Skills for Agile Leadership and a Strategic Doing Instructor, he is also a Certified Strategic Doing Workshop Leader.

Agile Leadership. In an era of ecosystems, open networks, and complexity we need to update the way think about and practice leadership in our organizations and communities. Scott has developed a set of insights and learning experiences to help leaders and leadership teams be more agile in a world that requires collaboration across all kinds of boundaries.

Our Growth Curve. Every organization, every community, and every regional economy is at a specific place on their current “growth curve.” Knowing where you are gives you insights about what is likely to come next and helps inform strategic decisions about what to keep doing, what to stop doing, and when to “jump” to the next growth curve. You can learn more about Our Growth Curve here.
Strategic Diversity Assessment. Each of us has a specific cognitive repertoire that determines how we contribute to growth, innovation, and transformation. Each team, group, and organization is more or less cognitively diverse. Greater levels of cognitive diversity becomes especially important when these teams, groups, and organizations are undergoing some sort of strategic transformation. We call this Strategic Diversity. A Strategic Diversity Assessment can help groups, teams, and organizations analyze their level of strategic diversity, learn to capitalize on their strategic strengths and mitigate their strategic vulnerabilities. You can learn more about Strategic Diversity Assessments here.
FullSpectrum. Purpose, values, and culture are emergent properties of an organization. Even the most effective leaders can’t merely speak them into existence. A FullSpectrum Analysis helps leaders visualize, predict, and optimize organizational purpose, values, and culture to better align them with strategic outcomes. You can learn more about FullSpectrum here.
BrainPower Analytics. Imagine being able to analyze the specific cognitive profile needed for the next phase in the lifecycle of a company, an industry sector or cluster, or even an entire economy; then matching that profile with your current BrainPower Ecosystem and the BrainPower likely needed in the near future.
Also, imagine being able to diagnose and optimize your organization’s level of cognitive diversity so that you can be best prepared for change, uncertainty, and unexpected disruption. All of this can now be accomplished through BrainPower Analyticsavailable exclusively through Hutcheson Associates.
