Feel confident about your impact strategy

I am a thought partner for social entrepreneurs, foundations, and philanthropists. I help them develop strategies for systems change, so they can move beyond treating symptoms and address the root causes of social problems.

Schedule a conversation

You want systems change but don't know where to start.

We will identify the root causes of a social problem, prioritize a clear systems change goal, and identify tangible milestones that you and your team can focus on.

You don't have a year to develop your strategy.

We will develop a strategy for systems change within 7 weeks. Globalizer, Ashoka's flagship strategy program, has been using my methodology successfully for years.

Your team or board needs to know you are in good hands.

Here are some credentials that might help: I am a Partner at Ashoka Germany, developed strategies with ~100 social entrepreneurs, foundations, and philanthropists, and published extensively on systems change.

How it works

1) Assemble your team

Find at least 2 people to develop the strategy with you. Include whoever ultimately decides about the next steps of your venture or initiative. Make sure that every member of the team is available for at least 5 hours per week over a course of 7 weeks.

2) Reflect and discuss

Each week, your team does research and exercises, which we discuss in a conference call. You don't need to know any systems thinking concepts. After 7 weeks, we will have selected a systems change goal and identified tangible milestones toward that goal.

3) Act, learn, repeat

Act on that strategy, learn, and repeat the process after a year or two. Chances are that after the first time, you don't even need me anymore.
