A Guide to Success in the Next Economy

We wrote this guide for leaders of organizations and institutions that are built on deep public engagement and trust. This often means healthcare, finance, education, and professional services, but it could be any organization where public trust and stakeholder engagement are essential and foundational. These are the organizations and institutions that truly influence the long term—the trusted advisors, the teachers, the care-takers and stewards of our communities. Their products, services, and policies are an expression of our shared values and represent opportunities to make changes that ripple through the whole economy.

We are not ‘ivory tower’ consultants with quick responses and quicker answers. We are engaged citizens, thoughtful advisors, dedicated partners, and master facilitators. We support, extend, and amplify our clients’ capacity.

In this guide, we offer some key questions you can ask yourself and your colleagues, some practical things you can try, and some examples from others who have taken similar steps.
