Leading With Head and Heart
An effective organization revolves around values that define its character and culture. These are ours.
Speed.
When the planet’s on fire, rapid innovation is better than slow and steady.

We bring real data, analysis, and facts to the limelight. Being honest about what is working and not working is not always easy, but we are committed to telling the truth.
Pragmatism.
We focus on ambitious but achievable solutions and believe that compromise and progress is more effective than purity and stasis.
Empathy.
We must ensure the voices of all people affected by our work are heard. We will support each other and others outside our organization with justice and respect. Our goal is to “walk the walk.”
