“Who are you?” is the most important question we ask, because we are invested in ideas and people. We guide you through processes of self-examination to separate the “signal from the noise” to achieve clarity on your motivation and purpose. Our intention is to help you become a more effective convener and connector among the people in your field.

Great ideas are everywhere. Our strength is in our ability to think across networks and fields to identify models, synthesize research, and adapt systems that will work for you and your project. We have the organizational expertise to orchestrate a grand vision and create the requisite architecture to execute it.

We purposefully focus on problem orientation as a grounding to develop solutions. There’s nothing new under the sun – and that’s okay. We focus on uncovering the infinite number of creative connections between people and ideas, and applying them in unconventional ways. Our goal is to transform need into opportunity, and to create tested processes for problem solving and decision making that you can retain for the future.

An ecosystems approach is about more than appreciating nature’s wisdom and beauty. Nature is intentional. She challenges us to be present, and to take the long-view of change. We help you to adopt and integrate this lens to your work.

We aim to be a trusted collaborator and advisor. To this end, we build healthy working relationships with candor, humor, and an attention to fit. When needed, we leverage our network to bring in specialized talent to meet your specific needs.
