Who we’ve helped
I cannot say enough about the innovation Toolkit Team. Ideation session was dynamic, engaging, and collaborative, bringing stakeholders from multiple organizations spread across the country together, focused, and moving out. 100+ ideas in an hour and we are now armed with information for developing the next step. Well done, and extremely impactful!

In Memoriam

They consistently jump into unfamiliar territory with ambiguous guidance and drive meaningful discussions in an objective manner.
