Positioning for bigger impact, more resilience, and better recognition.
When you know there's a better way to operate but aren't sure how to get there, the Bold Work Framework creates the bridge between your bold vision and tangible implementation.
The Five Elements of Bold Work
Values at the center
Let's put a stake in the ground for what you truly believe in. We’re going beyond generic mission statements and getting crystal clear on who you are as an organization and what you stand for in the world.
Leadership with courage
Evolving an organization requires leaders willing to let go of "how things are" and move toward a different, better way of being. This element builds your capacity to lead with both heart and strategy, creating structures and processes that embody your values throughout the organization.
Impact not fluff
Transform abstract values into concrete actions that create positive change for all your stakeholders. This isn’t box checking – it’s about making meaningful contributions to your employees, community, and environment while challenging the status quo.
Integrated systems
Organizations that blend into the crowd are those that haven't intentionally designed their systems to match their vision. We create an ecosystem where operations, organizational culture, and communications work together as a unified whole, reinforcing rather than contradicting each other.
Authentic voice
Develop communications that tell your story and make your mission, vision, and values shine through. Your authentic voice stands out precisely because it speaks your truth, attracting the right people and opportunities while positioning you as the visionary organization you truly are.
The Bold Work Framework isn't about small tweaks – it's about paradigm shifts, progress, and openness to evolving.
It's for leaders who aren't giving up, even when they feel the headwinds of our volatile economic, social, and political conditions.
It's for organizations that understand:
Staying committed to your values is the path to resilience amid chaos.
Being different isn't just good marketing – it's good business.
The most visionary organizations design their operating systems with as much intention as they design their products or services.
Creating positive change requires both dreaming and doing.
Bold work is how we create real impact and resilience in complex times.
We use design thinking and a systems-first approach to strategy, operations, and communications.
Believe in the value of a strong design concept.
It keeps us grounded when things inevitably start to feel muddy, and provides a foundation to continually refer back to as decisions are considered. In our strategy work, that “design concept” is found in the language of mission, vision, and values. Our starting point is unearthing and defining (or refining) your unique mission, vision, and values — which will serve as our north star for whatever work follows.
What you say, and how you say it, matters.
All of our work — whether it’s organizational design, strategic planning, or employee engagement — comes with a strong backbone in communications. An effective communications strategy can only come from a place of deep understanding of people, history, and cultures, which is why we see all of these systems as interconnected. We use our knack for understanding people — in the fullness of their humanity — to intuit how changes or information might be received. We let that understanding inform and influence processes and decisions.
