Most strategies fail to move the needle.

Many organizations have set social justice focused goals to improve workforce development, solve economic disparities, and close racial gaps. While many strategies have been initiated, very few achieve transformational and systemic change.

Within the next 20 years, people of color will be the new majority becoming the drivers of economic and social change. However, on all measures of economic and social well-being, communities of color remain persistently behind. Recycling old strategies and maintaining the status quo simply does not work.

Transformational change requires new approaches and bold solutions. This begins with giving stakeholders a voice at the table.
