Community Change as a Mosaic

A mosaic isn't just art – it's a radical act of transformation. It happens when we stop seeing pieces as mere fragments and start seeing them as gifts and possibilities. Of course, the real power isn't in the individual pieces, but in the audacious act of bringing them together.

That's what we're doing. Convening and facilitating partners to reveal new possibilities to tackle challenges that keep communities up at night. It's an act of creating thriving community mosaics - one neighborhood at a time.

our strategy for change

Our strategy is a set of integrated choices that define 'what would have to be true' to realize our aspiration of neighborhood transformation. Cascading down defines increasingly detailed choices while moving up the cascade acts as a reality check: "Do the systems support the capability?" "Do these capability enable our How to Win choices", and so on.

who we are

We are a startup nonprofit that envisions communities transformed by multi-sector partnerships. We have a decades-long track record of helping teams and organizations in the private sector unlock their collective intelligence to create enduring impact (to the tune of billions of dollars in revenue).

Now, we know that the best and highest use of our time and experience is to enable public sector change with a bring our human-centered approach. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we focus on collective action of business, nonprofit, and citizen partners to transform vulnerable neighborhoods with complex challenges.

where we are now

We're still learning, but based on feedback from nonprofits and businesses, our strategy is a solid starting point. Now, we're identifying potential pilot projects with multi-stakeholder partners to bring the strategy to life and help bring real impact. It's ambitious, we know, but together we can make our communities stronger and more vibrant.

We would love your input!
