Design Questions

• To provide support to the Cheif Equity Programs Officer in Strategy Design and to provide strategic coaching.

• How might we create a space for a Black, female leader to design her strategy for hosting the work, and navigating the people, and staying whole?

The Experience

Over 2 months time, we engaged in design research, synthesis, stakeholder engagement and prototyping and strategy creation. This including weekly coaching sessions along the way around hosting and implementation of strategy work.
