The firm concentrates on three focus areas—education, local economic development, and sustainable production and consumption—to help leaders pursue the common good. It works with clients to develop scenario-based explorations of possible futures that guide today’s strategy and to examine values and behavior to anticipate changing needs.

Based in San Francisco, the company maintains a small team serving organizations seeking strategic management solutions to social problems.
