Services

Systems change takes leaders and organizations operating with a field lens. We work alongside leaders and teams to plan, adapt, and implement field-minded work. Our services span strategy, transition support, and capacity building so you can strengthen the broader field you serve and deliver systems-level impact.

What we provide

We conduct field-minded work with clients in three focal areas:

1. Strategy

We help organizations develop and implement plans that build field capacity and enhance their contributions to systems change. 

  • Assess opportunities to deepen or expand into field building work

  • Design and implement field building plans, partnerships, and impact measurement

  • Create knowledge and experiences that enhance field capacity and alignment–from content development to convenings and cohorts

  • Support leadership to effectively engage funders on their field building strategies

  • Scope and build initiatives and investments that advance systems change goals


2. Organizational Transitions

We support organizations navigating strategic collaborations, restructurings, launches, and sunsets in ways that strengthen their fields.

  • Assess potential options for organizational transitions

  • Plan mission- and values-aligned organizational transitions

  • Support leadership through change with advising, scenario planning, and additional implementation capacity 

  • Manage behind-the-scenes operations


3. Capacity Building

We build greater field-minded capacity among leaders, teams, and the social sector broadly.

  • Create and share knowledge about field-minded strategy and organizational transitions

  • Build skills, culture, and infrastructure in organizations for effective field building 

  • Engage and organize funders to strengthen fields and support organizational transitions

  • Connect field-minded leaders to share knowledge and peer support
