FOSTERING CONNECTION, COLLABORATION + COHESION
Scenario Six Collective partners with network builders, people managers, and social impact organizations to co-create strategies, programs, events, and tools that foster stronger engagement.
WHO WE ARE
During our five years of working together as the community management team of a national network, we saw first-hand all the joys and challenges related to people-centered, connection-oriented work. We discovered and experimented with different methods and systems, and learned what it takes to do this work well.
We created Scenario Six as a decision to center our values, bet on ourselves, and as a reminder that there’s always an opportunity to think creatively and expansively about how to solve a problem. We explored many pathways before we landed here—our sixth scenario. Now, we are ready to bring our expertise to support you in your engagement efforts whether you’re thinking through a strategy, event, program, or tool. If this resonates, we’d love to connect!
