It takes more than great ideas to change the world.  A skillfully crafted strategy can take the spark of an idea and map out the steps that link it to a broader goal.  This can make the difference between creating powerful change that has a lasting impact and just being active.  A good strategy requires skill, experience, and a certain instinct for recognizing opportunity and leveraging it.  Our team brings decades of on-the-ground experience in policy campaigns as well as program development and management, from moving legislation through Congress to creating local support for community projects.
