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
The ITK team members did an outstanding job of targeting a diverse set of participants for their interviews. The feedback they elicited helped identify new opportunities and add new color to known challenges. They consistently jump into unfamiliar territory with ambiguous guidance and drive meaningful discussions in an objective manner.
