Developing Futures Inc. is a Canadian consulting firm specializing in the triple-play of Leadership, Culture and Results. We see the power of leadership to create culture and the power of culture to create results.

All organizations have leaders with their own styles. All organizations have a culture driven from the impacts of those leadership approaches. And all organizations produce results that are directly tied to the health of the culture that the leaders inspire.

We work with organizations to ensure that their leadership, culture and results create a place where people will contribute, create and thrive.

What We Believe

Leadership

Great leaders focus on what matters most.
They set evocative visions and inspire people to
want to be their best.
Great leaders know that what they do and how they behave sets the tone for the whole company.
Leadership Matters.

Culture

Culture is the consistent beliefs and behaviors of a
group of people.
Your company's culture is a direct consequence of how its leaders show up.
Shifting culture requires a shift in leadership.
Culture matters.

Results

Results may be measured by the bottom line but they
aren't improved by a bottom line focus.
Clear communication, expectations, and accountability are
at the core of generating superior results.
Shifting results requires a shift in culture and leadership. Results matter.

Working with Bob has been the best personal and professional development investment I’ve ever made. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to unlock their true potential and achieve their highest level of effectiveness.

Jim Ramsey, Executive Director / St Luke’s Performing Arts Association

Bob’s grounded savvy wise business expertise blended with his contagious energy, creates an optimum balance for creating something new in business. I’ve done hundreds of visioning and strategic planning with other organizations. I can say none have been more enjoyable, playful and with such specific focus and results as Bob’s process.

-Clint White, former CFO / Aux Sable Liquid Products

Working with the Game Method has created tremendous accountability for me and my team. Having clear expectations and measures of success has definitely increased our focus on, and delivery of, what really matters. And the game format has made it easy and fun for my team to engage with a process that they’ve described as “the best we’ve ever worked width

Trevor Greer, President and General Manager / Enersul Inc.

Crossing paths with you has been a blessing. Learning from you and spending time with you has been truly monumental in my personal growth and the growth of F4D. You are an intelligent man and I value you as a friend and resource.

Bob has helped me grow in my career and helped me improve my leadership skills in all areas of you life! In the most kind and authentic way he helped me identigy the internal “walls” I built and gave me the courage to accept my strengths. It’s a blessing to be connected to someone so committed to providing profound guidance and so willing to help me become a true leader in my field.

I’ve done hundreds of visioning and strategic planning sessions through various organizations. I can say none have been more enjoyable or playful at igniting my inner passion, and creating specific focus and results.

Dee Cooper, Owner / Adventures for the Wild At Heart

Your expertise on company culture has been invaluable to our team and to me. The game we played was a large part of our success and helped everyone to thrive. I’m really excited for where we are heading to start the new year!

Travis Conklin, Director / F4D Studios

Over the past 10 years I’ve set up my annual goals and have been challenged with making them specific enough so that they’re really achievable. Working with Culture Counts and their Game Method is the first time in all those years that I've actually felt like I can refine them down to something I can make a difference with that really helps me and my company achieve our goals.
