Our Services
SHI’s creative solutions have impact at their centre. We act as a support team to organizations in order to advance their mission, providing external expertise to ensure the success of their efforts.
We integrate 5 core focus areas to achieve results:
What We Believe
We need new approaches
Current approaches to addressing today’s problems are failing us and must be replaced by new ones that better fit the realities of how social change happens.
We need to work across sectors
Most of the problems we face are simply too big for any one entity to solve. Making social progress and achieving impact depends on collaboration among civil society, government, and business.
We need strong partnerships and ideas
To be successful in any pursuit, we must work together, build strong partnerships, and lift up the compelling ideas and successes of others.
We live in a complex world
Social issues are often embedded in complex systems that defy predictable solutions. Change is possible only if we understand and support interdependencies and momentum shifts within a system.
