one
Connecting an art museum to its community.
One of the world’s leading fine art institutions was setting out to refocus on the needs of its community.
We worked with the museum’s new CEO, executive team, and staff from across departments to articulate a purpose, mission, vision, values, and strategic plan. We then led roll-out of the strategy, offered leadership trainings with DEI integration, and hosted an ideation summit for the team.
two
Bringing inspiration into the public school system.
An education non-profit operating in several major U.S. cities had big ambitions to scale further, but was in need of a tighter service model and a more cohesive strategy.
We drove projects in market research, service design, strategic planning, impact assessment, and built out a multi-year training program with research-backed tools and materials to support their rapidly growing staff working in schools.
three
Transforming politics by supporting state reps.
A national non-partisan organization supporting state lawmakers was in need of a sharper vision and streamlined offering.
We worked with executive leadership to develop a strategic plan, restructure the organizational architecture, and launch a new house of brands. We also worked with them to create a modular script for their seminars setting them up to scale their offering.
four
Building a social-impact start-up incubator.
Alongside a team of social entrepreneurs, we designed and launched an impact-focused start-up studio with dedicated teams for social science research and for service design.
The studio developed ventures in a wide range of areas, including homelessness, basic income, end-of-life planning, purpose and human potential, aging and retirement, bipartisan dialogue, and the future of work.
five
Implementing ESG across a major financial entity.
A large-scale financial institution had prioritized ESG (environment, social, and governance) within its corporate strategy, but needed support putting it into practice.
We worked with the CSR team's leadership to refine their value proposition, helping them restructure their team for scale, training the team in new ways of working, and designing and leading change communications.
six
Launching a family office with funding for the arts.
Having successfully launched several digital marketing companies, a lifelong entrepreneur was looking to refocus on his patronage of the arts and on several new business ideas he'd been playing with.
We worked with him to craft a vision for a family office with an embedded venture studio, establishing its first leadership team, strategic plan, and operating model, remaining hands-on through launch.
