Social Innovation

In connection with our nonprofit, Sound ConneXions, we have developed a series of consulting options for Social Entrepreneurs.  Social Innovations recognizes social problems as opportunities for empowerment.  It uses entrepreneurial principles and community assets to release the potential for collaborations across traditional industry sectors.  Our consulting services create sustainable social enterprises to empower communities while providing  social, ecological and economic benefits in the follow areas:

  • Arts and Culture
  • Health and Wellness
  • Education and Human Development
  • Ecology and Environment
  • Local Economic Development

Visit our Sound ConneXions blog site for program details and stories on social innovation.

Project Management

  • Agile and Waterfall Project Management

Documentation

  • All engagements and tools are documented and provided for future use.
Virtual Consulting Services

We also specialize in supporting teams and communities-of-practice who can benefit from  the use of web-based tools for collaborative work.  Our view is that effective  “virtual collaboration” goes well beyond tele- or video-conferences where people are marginal participants. We work with you and your team to create and learn virtual work processes and facilitation skills that enable groups to address issues that make groups function well.  We can assist you with a range of processes for relationship building,  idea generation, team alignment, decision-making, and improved communication. Our services include:

  • Social collaboration strategies for developing or struggling work teams
  • One-to-one coaching and training in the use of social media tools for business networking
  • Capacity building for leading virtual teams
Custom facilitation and learning events
