Thinking

We view thinking as daily exercise — the warm-up for your business marathon that lies ahead. If you aren’t working your brain every day for the advancement of your organization, you’re going to get floppy. That tight ship you set up in the beginning is going to weaken. The energy and passion for even the most exciting task is going to wane.

Constant and deliberate thinking sparks creativity, innovation, and most importantly, results.

In the first phase of our work with you, we’ll do a lot of thinking together, collaboratively. And we’ll ask you to do a lot of thinking on your own, too. Depending on your goals and needs, we may even widen the circle and do some hard thinking with your staff, customers, and donors.

Let’s make thinking a priority.

Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
