Collaborate
Co-Designing Spaces, Pathways, and Practices for Working Better Together.
We partner with organizations, communities, and networks who are ready to rethink how they address complex challenges. Partners that recognize, despite having highly qualified teams, some crucial pieces of the puzzle are missing: key voices, perspectives, or connections that could deepen understanding and impact. Through the Whole Story lens, we support them in exploring these gaps and moving toward more relational, whole-system ways of working. Our services are tailored to each partner’s context, with a focus on building lasting cultures of collaboration, within organizations and across the broader networks they are part of.
Spaces:
Facilitation and Connection
Where people come together to listen, learn, and collaborate.
We design and host spaces that build trust, strengthen relationships, and spark honest dialogue across differences, both within organizations and with external partners across sectors and communities. Our facilitated workshops and gatherings help groups surface diverse perspectives, strengthen relationships, and move from dialogue to meaningful action.
Pathways:
Insights & Strategic Design
How groups make sense of complexity and move forward together.
Pathways help groups uncover and reimagine the stories that guide their work. Through collective sense-making and co-design, we trace the narratives shaping current challenges, exploring where they came from, whose voices informed them, and whose may be missing. Drawing on both workshops and research, we surface patterns, stories, and opportunities that reveal new possibilities when multiple ways of knowing are brought together. These insights are then translated into pathways that groups can pilot and test, leading to strategies and next steps that are inclusive, relational, and designed for lasting impact.
Practices:
Culture of Collaboration
What sustains change over time.
Practices sustain meaningful change over time by embedding collaboration, learning, and shared problem-solving into everyday ways of working. Guided by trust, reciprocity, respect, and multiple ways of knowing, we co-design practices, policies, and structures that bring diverse voices into organizational culture. This strengthens capacity within teams while deepening relationships with community and multi-sector partners, creating conditions for collective impact that are resilient, inclusive, and lasting.
