STRATEGIC DESIGN
FROM CULTURE CHANGE TO SYSTEMS CHANGE
We offer consultation, research, development and design services for clients defining strategies and tools for undoing structural inequity. The complexity of our world’s most pressing challenges requires a deep and systemic understanding of the issues at hand. We build networks among diverse stakeholders to transform silos into connections within an ecosystem of people, projects, resources, and movements. Through our process, clients gain organizational capacity to pursue the most efficient, innovative, and strategic opportunities to scale meaningful societal change.
ABOUT OUR PROCESS
By using design-led capacities we redefine how big picture systemic challenges are approached, identify opportunities for action, and co-design more holistic and resilient strategies centered on positive social change.
We believe that the more we co-operate, co-create and co-produce, the more equitable, effective and meaningful our impact will become.
