What makes us different

We work across contexts and scale

From three-person nonprofits to multi-million dollar public agencies, we’ve partnered with organizations of all sizes and political environments. We understand how systems work and how to move them.

We’re strategy-first and outcome-driven

We don’t create plans for the sake of planning. We help you set bold but realistic goals, and then build strategies designed to achieve them.

We plan for what’s now and what’s next

The world is uncertain. That’s why we specialize in strategy that is flexible, actionable, and designed to evolve with your context. Our work gets implemented, not shelved.

  • Founder & CEO

    Nick Kor is a nationally recognized strategist, facilitator, and advisor with over 12 years of experience leading complex initiatives across public policy, government, and the nonprofit sector. He brings deep expertise in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and navigating the intersection of politics, systems, and people.

    Nick has worked with state agencies, community-based organizations, advocacy coalitions, and executive leaders to design strategies that drive meaningful, measurable change. His approach blends sharp political instincts with a commitment to inclusion, clarity, and action. Whether guiding a public health department through an organizational realignment or helping a grassroots nonprofit sharpen its vision, Nick is known for building trust, asking the right questions, and helping teams move from stuck to forward.

    Throughout his career, Nick has:

    • Spearheaded Minnesota’s first statewide civic engagement initiative under Governor Dayton, helping agencies better serve communities through inclusive public participation.

    • Led public policy and advocacy campaigns, securing major policy victories in LGBTQ rights, criminal justice reform, small business support, job access, public safety, and racial equity.
