OUR VALUES

Bold.
For us, it’s more than work —it’s a mission.

We embrace bold, creative ideas in our thinking and our work, as we tackle systemic issues. Our tenacity and confidence in our goals allows us to break through and strive for change that is generational in its impact.

Purposeful.
Our world is constantly changing—so we are, too.

With a focus on our core mission, we approach new questions with intellectual curiosity, nimble adaptability, and methodological rigor. We are strategic in the connections we make within our work, our network, and our field.

Inclusive.
Everyone has a part to play—we’re in this together.

Our work directly impacts cities, neighborhoods—all of us. We intentionally collaborate and reach out across place, race, creed, and sector. We recognize that diversity—in all forms—makes us smarter, stronger, and more successful.
