One of the many discoveries we’ve learned from working with more than 200 Registered Organizations interested in implementing HIGH FIVE® is the importance of knowing our ideal Registered Organization. This means not only understanding what that organization wants to achieve but having clear expectations on both sides of the relationship. Having this transparency allows the relationship to become more of an open conversation between two parties who have common values and goals.
