What we do
Our experience in building social change efforts — with membership organizations, non-profits, intermediaries, and funders — has highlighted that leaders need support navigating the space between their ambitious visions and the day to day, translating a larger strategy into achievable goals. We build a customized approach to each client, with a focus on the following core services.
Strategic Planning
Our collaborative, empathetic and flexible approach helps leaders figure out where they want to go and connect the dots to get there. We work closely with leaders to reflect on their current aspirations, understand their role in the ecosystem, and identify priority strategies and programs. We then support leaders to identify the budget, staffing, and structures that will support their ambitions, and plan the next steps to set their new strategies in motion.
Facilitation + Stakeholder Engagement
We specialize in creating spaces to foster dialogue, move through difference, and surface collective wisdom. Our sessions are designed to encourage reflection, problem-solving, and inclusive decision-making, helping you to harness the collective wisdom of your stakeholders. From community listening sessions and focus groups to board meetings and workshops our goal is to surface insights, build consensus and drive progress.
Learning + Evaluation
We support organizations to assess and refine their strategies, to identify strengths and challenges and collect meaningful data for continuous learning. We work closely with you to rigorously test assumptions, pilot innovative approaches, and adapt strategies based on real-world feedback and outcomes. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data, we focus on learning that informs your ongoing strategy and operations, in addition to assessing overall impact. By partnering with us, you'll gain tools to evaluate the success of your initiatives and share your learnings with your partners and peers. Let us help you turn insights into actions that pave the way for transformative change.
Thought Partnership
We develop collaborative relationships with our partners, supporting them to navigate uncertainty and explore new possibilities. We are here to help you ask the tough questions and sharpen your thinking. Together, we will develop and test hypotheses for the future of your organization, build internal capacity, and develop strategic tools that foster long-term success. As thought partners, we commit to support you in making informed decisions and navigating the path to greater impact.
