They are team players who have an excellent grasp of the Archetype methodology and discovery insights, as well as the strategic orientation to help an organization implement the results.

"It is easy to quickly discover the value of the yin/yang qualities of the Thelma and Hugh team. Both contribute from very broad (and unique) disciplines and deep pools of experience. And combined, they're more than their sum. I am continuously surprised at the dead-on strategic insights they are able to discover and translate for our business purposes - often within strict time and money contraints. And while seemingly operating at the outer fringe of ideas, they nevertheless continually impact our core understanding of any given topic. Even when I consider the wide array of resources available to tap into, I find their richness of work remains unmatched."
