Local Concepts envisions a culture where people across organizations and sectors work more collaboratively and strategically to solve some of our most intractable problems. We believe intentionally designed and thoughtfully managed networks have the power to drive change around complex issues by bringing diverse groups of people together who share a similar purpose and values. In order to achieve the greatest impact in our communities and to shift the systemic conditions holding problems in place, we must come together across sectors to do it.

We see ourselves not only as network organizers, but as community builders consciously co-creating a culture rooted in shared values. We’ve helped build networks from the ground-up and bolstered networks already in motion.

Are you thinking about starting a network? We can work with you to design an assessment for your community of stakeholders to make important decisions and to help you get started. We can provide a range of services depending on your needs, from supporting the creation of a network charter to facilitating convenings, assessing communication(s) gaps and needs, designing meetings and other gatherings, and much more.

Is your network already in motion or at a critical evolution point? We can help identify gaps and opportunities for growth, design training for your leadership and other network participants, facilitate strategy sessions and more.
