The Cape Cod Model
See the whole system. Work with what is already capable.
The model brings Gestalt principles into practical work with people, pairs, groups and organisations. Learning moves from awareness to experience, then into deliberate practice.

Why this one / Sourced proposal
The depth is already there. The front door can do more.
GISC's current site holds serious programme detail, a living calendar and more than four decades of practice. The opportunity is to make the first decision feel as thoughtful as the learning.
Core opportunity
Faster fit
Help each visitor recognise their learning context, compare depth and reach the right official next step with fewer decisions.
Discovery
What the current site does well
Real programme depth
Dates, fees, faculty, formats, continuing education and applications are already available.
An ownable method
The Cape Cod Model gives GISC a clear idea that can connect every professional audience.
Low-risk entry points
Free live-online sessions let a prospective participant experience the teaching before committing.
A living institution
The 2026 calendar, faculty, journal, blog and community show active professional life.
Observable friction
Where the first decision gets harder
Programmes repeat across audience branches
The desktop menu presents many nested links under coaches, consultants, leaders, therapists, individuals and distance learning.
The shared method sits apart from the choice
The Cape Cod Model has separate explanation and programme routes, so its value is not always present at the moment of comparison.
The calendar is complete, not selective
A returning participant benefits from the full list. A new visitor first needs a small number of meaningful paths.
General contact asks for too much
The current contact page requests postal address, company and several location fields before a simple question can be sent.
Principles adopted, not copied
What stronger peers make clear
Comparator content and identity were not reused.

Source ↗The proposal
Five choices, each tied to the opportunity
- 01
One public route
Do not recreate the repeated hierarchy. Let every visitor complete the first decision in one place.
- 02
A working programme matcher
Professional context changes the recommendation while programme facts stay in one canonical record.
- 03
The Cape Cod Model in the hero
The relational field becomes both the memorable visual and the logic behind the recommendation.
- 04
A dated programme window
Show a small current sample, label when it was checked and make the official page the final authority.
- 05
Keep incumbent systems
Registration, applications, email and phone remain with GISC. The pitch improves discovery without inventing a new operation.
Verified
Public facts used
Official identity, Boston contact details, nonprofit history, the Cape Cod Model, programme audiences, current dates and official accreditation wording.
Inferred
The opportunity
Repeated routes and a large navigation tree likely increase first-visit effort and maintenance risk. Conversion data is needed to quantify the effect.
Needs GISC
Private decisions
Priority programme, analytics, conversion rates, CMS direction, image rights and the current form-delivery design.
