our six step agri-food system
transformation process™

Dear Systems-thinking leaders,

You will inevitably reach a time in your systems-thinking program’s life cycle when vision outpace capacity. A challenging problem to have and a tough one to solve. In most cases, this is exposed only after a real-world “stress test” of your people, systems and processes; manifested as data, analytics, strategic frameworks and intervention design shortages, donors complaints and lost opportunities.

Our 6-step agri-food transformation process aims to prevent these issues by taking a novel engagement approach with a new partner like yourself. We spend time up front to truly understand your context, capacities, systems and impact goals. This allows us to provide targeted, cost-effective solutions for your market system change-critical constraints.  We take a holistic and systemic look inside one, several or all of your program’s components to identify constraints, opportunities and challenges roadblocks and risks that have the potential to slow (or even reverse) market systems transformation.

Using our proprietary agri-food systems process, developed from our first-hand experience as market systems development project team leaders, advisors, trainers, and coaches working for multi-million-dollar programs, we’ll author a detailed sector market systems analysis, framework, strategy and intervention design.

This will outline what you’ll need to transform, upgrade, improve, implement, and install to ensure that your team, systems and knowledge can support market systems change at scale. We’ll also train, mentor and coach your team and leadership to bring this market system change transformation at scale you created to a reality. We’ll work closely with you to innovate, co-create, track, adapt and grow your project.

We look forward to learning more about your agri-food mission and how we can help you grow using smart and effective system thinking designs, learning and management.
