When might you need Co.school's services?
You are likely working within a system (either one organization, or a web of organizations) working on a challenge: a wicked problem, as they're sometimes called.
You're asking questions like: "How do we serve our members better?" or "How do we bring our constituents together?" or "How do we make progress on this intractable issue?"
But you're sick of asking that question in theory alone; you want project-driven, outcomes-oriented, application-based work. You're here to get something done while also bringing people along.
You are also likely a leader, with a clear idea of how you want to lead, but you don't have the capacity or bandwidth to keep doing it alone. You're looking for energy, encouragement, ownership and fire from a source outside yourself.
Co.school, then, works as a creative partner alongside leaders of systems change to help them get things done in a collaborative way.
We are here to listen, co-plan, strategize, and execute projects that change our communities.
