EXPERT COLLABORATORS

Collaboration: network

Collaboration > Competition

This interdisciplinary network includes subject matter experts, coaches, facilitators, and researchers with 15 to 35 years of experience across a range of industries. They are thought leaders and executives, as well as researchers and futurists. Many have authored books, won awards in their fields, and hold patents.

Our collaborators are located across 11 different states and the Caribbean, bringing a diverse range of perspectives. But we don't just rely on industry experts - we also invite the people and communities most impacted by our work to have a voice at the table. We believe the best ideas are shaped at the intersection of lived experience, diversity, challenge and humility.
