We are a strategy consulting firm that provides strategic and advisory services, research support, convening and backbone services, team and culture development, and project design and management. We partner with nonprofits, philanthropic entities, and other mission driven organizations, to drive transformation of and innovation in our social systems.

We know that many of our social systems are archaic and rigid - built for a different time and purpose. They do not support communities to grow and be their best. In our work - both what we do and how we do it - we strive to build a society free of structural/systemic inequity.

Anne L., Director of Research

“Ankita’s special blend of getting the job done while building strong relationships is crucial to how successful she is with client and partner engagements. I have had the pleasure of witnessing Ankita facilitate meetings with leaders where she quickly builds rapport, demonstrates genuine curiosity about everyone's perspectives, and then effortlessly moves people to work together and actively engage in productive discussions. I've learned a great deal from her and would gladly welcome opportunities to work with her again!”

Miguel G., Executive Director

Ankita has been a fantastic partner.  Her thoughtful engagement, clear communication and gentle nudges were great.  The research became so much more than a "report" but rather a healthy conversation backed by information rather than speculation.
