We excel in situations where our clients are engaged in innovative social change, are committed to learning, and view measurement as a method to propel their thinking and strategies around future practices.
Meaningful planning begins with the outcomes in mind. As has now long been a trope, “Strategic Planning is dead; long live strategy.” We believe effective strategy outlines multiple viable paths to accomplish your mission, while embracing the flexibility you’ll need to respond to ever-shifting systems-level challenges.
Challenges shift. Managing change requires adaptive practices, and continual improvement. We help design and develop the iterative, responsive practices social change organizations need to be successful.
