(Un)Conventional Wisdoms…

Yes, Yes, And…series: Differences of perspective, particularly if rooted in deep mutual respect, can generate insight, knowledge, and wisdom. During the course of our close work together, we found ourselves having passionate impromptu discussions about many of the topics are work touched on. Giving ourselves a strict 10-minute time limit, we decided to turn on the camera and invite interested others into the productive creative tension that informs and infuses our consulting practice.

Responding to the Moment webinar series: Topics emerge in the course of our work that are worth further exploration, codification, and sharing. This series delivers a variety of insights, whether generated from a broad landscape scan, or observations accumulated over years in the nonprofit/social impact sector. Links below each entry provide access to a 1-page summary and the slide deck.

Drawing on a national scan of intermediary organizations, we examined why many intermediaries are under strain and what it would take to build a stronger, more resilient ecosystem.
