More About Our Story.
Our business was born of the pandemic. Recognizing the opportunity for our target clients to make change as big businesses struggled to adapt and workers questioned their circumstances, we began thinking about how to empower small and nonprofit enterprises with accessible strategy and future-ready organization development tools.
Just as we advise our clients to build for adaptation, we have also built our own organization, over time and with careful thought and consideration, to have a clear vision and strong foundational and operational elements. Finally, we embrace the opportunities of the constantly evolving business landscape by creating a deep and equally evolving awareness of our environment, while understanding and adapting to its implications for us and our clients.
