We are on a mission to transform the public sector to a space where collaboration and innovation can thrive. We work with public agencies from the local to federal level and any value aligned organization that does social impact work.
The public sector has done a good job in diversifying its workforce. Gender, ethnic and racial diversity here outpaces that in the rest of the workforce and better reflects the communities in which these agencies serve. There is also enormous opportunity to do better in fostering collaborative cultures within and between these agencies and their communities. Opportunities where innovation can thrive and employees and the communities they serve can feel valued. Effective and ethical collaboration also ensures equity in the use of resources, and saves time and money.
The successes of collaboration on even the smallest scale act as fractals of change. Change can happen from the ground up and from the inside out. While policy catches up, we work with change-agents embeded in bureaucracies to reshape and refine systems to be ethical, accountable and innovative. In communities from the hyper local to the global scale, we share big problems that need solving soon. Climate change, pandemics and conflict affect us all. We convene the spaces where the folks who are the experts via their lived experiences and their knowledge can get together to discover the solutions.
The Collective Consultancy is a boutique consulting firm that is BIPOC and queer led. We coordinate services and collaborate with other value aligned firms who offer complementary expertise to provide exceptional service to our clients and community. We provide bespoke training and facilitation, peer coaching, and communities of learning and care.
this is our recipe for change
