Adi and Michelle co-lead the project, providing codesign process leadership, and consulting advice on Social Impact and ESG strategy, program design and business analysis.
Challenge
How does a high-profile global tech company engage its stakeholders, external advisors and internal teams in developing a global social impact strategy with locally relevant programs?
Solution
As part of the Tides team, we shaped an agile strategy codesign approach for this fast-paced company. Working with the Research team, we prepared for seven city worker codesign sessions and ran ideation workshops with the Social Impact team and internal partners. In the current phase of the project we consult on Social Impact strategy and program design, approaches to engaging with policy experts and to developing research.
