Shared problems are never solved alone. Bringing stakeholders together to find common ground and create a shared vision is an essential step to tackling complex problems. We specialize in working across sectors as “translators” and strategists who know how to design and navigate systems that depend on collaboration and inputs from many types of organizations. We help clients focus on opportunities for interrupting built-in bias and creating cross-sector partnerships to drive real action and collective impact.

Cross-Sector Partnerships

A group of people sitting around a table engaged in a collaborative discussion. The table has papers and sticky notes. A woman is standing, leaning in to participate. A wall chart displays a graph. The setting appears to be a workshop or meeting.

In practice this looks like:

Building buy-in and trust among partners with competing interests
Creating connections with business leaders, industry associations, nonprofits, youth, people with lived experience, government agencies, philanthropy, researchers, and more
Conducting landscape analysis and synthesizing best practices to understand organizations and sectors, including both deeply and widely felt challenges
Providing government and community relations, including coaching on how to approach regulations, policy analysis, and public process to achieve a common goal
Developing an approach for high-stakes meetings and convenings where multiple organizations need to make decisions together
