Step 2 · Talk Straight

No more "Midwest nice."

1-Day Bootcamp

Funding Cliff Deep Dive

A focused 3–4 hour session that takes a hard, honest look at your community's funding exposure. Named stops, real numbers, no hedging.

2-Day Cross-Sector Bootcamp

90-Day Pilot Planning

7–8 hours over an afternoon and the next morning. The business sector meets on Day 1 afternoon, the social service sector on Day 2 morning, and both come together for a joint 90-minute wrap-up luncheon. You leave with a plan for a 90-day pilot.

Step 3 · Adapt

Build something that lasts.

90–180 Day Pilot

A full pilot with implementation coaching and network access. Test the model, measure the outcomes, and build the case for sustained investment.

Transformational

A 6+ month engagement that turns the pilot into a sustainable culture. Rules, scoreboard, host, and a first cohort whose outcomes are public.

Sustained Success

Annual network membership with quarterly reviews, tool refreshes, and peer learning. Stay connected to the communities doing this work.
