Fast-Design Social Issue Solutions
Solve Together
We know that urgent social issues don’t wait for needs assessments and budget cycles.
Our teams apply a unique process to quickly define problems, co-design solutions, test interventions, measure impact, and scale only what works. That is, what makes a measurable impact on individual and community wellbeing.
- Solution Sprint
- Solution Lab
A two-week process to guide a group of stakeholders through the entire innovation process, from defining a problem to building a solution and testing it out.
A high-touch, 6 to 8 week process to develop a solution for a seemingly intractable problem, such as individual community harm caused by urgent social infrastructure gaps, or opportunity.
