We are a strategic thinking partner for organizations, foundations and government agencies seeking to tackle complex, wicked problems. Our approach is to facilitate learning networks where trust is engendered, thinking is innovative, and solutions are systemic. Our tools include systems thinking, strategic doing, appreciative inquiry, catalyzing ecosystems, and social network mapping.
We want to learn more about cross-sector networks/partners that are successfully scaling minority small employer firms and Latino-owned businesses.
