People-centered research and facilitation

A Boston-based change management and strategy consultant firm working at the intersection of planning, engagement, and equity

Products & Services

The cornerstone of our products and services—deep democracy—rests on the core insight that an organization’s leadership, staff, and constituencies are living organisms that are composed of values, aspirations, and opportunities for growth that create avenues to advance or undermine their mission and impact.

As equity researchers and strategists, we integrate mixed-method research, urban planning, and organizational development to advance innovative solutions to complex culture and structure problems.

Research
