About the Courage Collective

The Courage Collective is a nexus for human centered design. We facilitate structured design labs to build solutions to complex social problems and help leaders manage organizational change. We tap into the brain capital of experienced innovators, corporate executives and proven social strategists to develop viable solutions and actionable strategies. We think courageously and strategically. We address problems differently and produce different results. 

Human-centered design is an approach to problem solving that has led to some of the greatest social advancements of our time. We have used it to increase outcomes in public health, find holistic solutions to homelessness, and to help low-income individuals increase their ability to be self-sufficient. It is a process that challenges the rules often found in business while placing emphasis on the people for which a service is being designed. It is a way to create new results through cross-disciplinary thinking while empathizing and collaborating with the people who are impacted by the outcomes.

The Courage Collective was established to increase the performance and value proposition of organizations that are restricted by constrained internal processes or are financially limited.  We are committed to being affordable to you because we want you to think more courageously and adopt an innovation strategy that allows you to focus on creating social change.

Our approach is clear and uncomplicated

We learn about you, your organization and the problem you face. We help you to define the problem. We assign a customized team to work with you to design a solution with emphasis on actionable outcomes. We experiment and test the solutions to ensure your success.

The Courage Collective is research and development for social impact. We will help you navigate the risks associated with the solutions we develop with you so you can strengthen and enhance your mission and growth opportunities. Our team of thinkers, researchers and designers will complement your courage to adopt an innovation strategy that allows you to solve complex social problems and manage organizational change.
