Understanding your journey. Charting the road ahead.
Context is key
Our approach is grounded in our clients’ unique journeys, and understanding of how personal and organizational histories, assets, and strengths, current reality, aspirations, and concrete, practical pathways to address challenges and discover opportunities. Our work is grounded in the history, culture, aspirations, and potential of the initiatives we support. We immerse ourselves in your context and goals.
Systems matter
Impact initiatives play out in complex systems. We design with a broad view of the system in which you operate.
Appreciative inquiry, growth, and learning
We are appreciative, imagine possibilities, build from strength, approach our work with a growth, learning mindset.
Participation, inclusion, respect for all voices
Effective change depends on who is at the table—whose voices are included, heard, and valued. We foster deep and broad participation and value all voices.
Developmental approach
Organizations, like people and nature, are always evolving, changing, and developing. We base our work on developmental principles and custom-design programs that align with the stage of development of your venture, funds, or program, and use that starting point to open new possibilities.
Transparency, accountability, results.
