We are design + impact advisors, dedicated to serving the organizations and leaders transforming the world.
Impact
Impact is the most important currency for mission-driven organizations, but proving and improving results is hard. Combining analytic and creative superpowers, we assess, monitor, and evaluate performance, programs, mission impact, and organizational health. We are relentlessly focused on helping organizations learn to better adapt, realize impact, and tell their stories.
Strategy
Strategy is more effective and enduring when it's people-powered and shaped by design methods. Our strategy-by-design approach supports adaptation, aligns organizational functions, and creates replicable processes for collective problem-solving, experimentation, and learning. We deliver strategy and a participatory experience to ensure strategies stick.
Leadership
Courageous leaders are ever evolving -- up-leveling their skills, mastering new capabilities, and expanding their mindsets to be in service to their teams and organizations. For these leaders and their mission-driven organizations, we offer coaching, training, and capacity building to support scaling, help navigate change, and enhance performance.
Change
Adaptation is the competitive advantage in today's world. We help organizations adapt at the pace of relevancy by designing new structures, processes, and team norms to transform performance, innovate, and build thriving cultures.
