About
Pause. Co. is dedicated to how we cooperate in increasingly complex environments. The insights behind the Living Teams model have emerged through years of observation and practice in the fields of data, dialogue and leadership. I've witnessed firsthand how these principles create thriving teams and organisations.
Pause. Co. focuses on sharing and teaching the Living Teams model, while exploring how thoughtfully designed software can enhance team intelligence and cooperation.
I believe that pausing to listen and notice important signals from the world and each other is essential. A deliberate pause allows us to develop the capacities, mental models, and coordination needed to respond intelligently to the challenges we face.

What Leaders Are Saying
Dan's key strength is his ability to identify why information isn't flowing effectively through a business. His principles of organising teams around purpose is still used widely at Mutinex and is one of the key reasons for our product acceleration over the market.
