Commons helps organizations tap into the power of collaboration -- connecting, supporting and amplifying the work of network-based initiatives.

Whether building a new partnership from the ground up or supporting an existing network, we understand that trust, transparency and the free flow of information are the raw material for successful collaboration. We also know that clarity, planning and persistence are what give networks the roots to survive over time.

Commons brings engaged facilitation, open source organizing techniques, conflict mediation, management skills and a gut instinct to the collaborative process. Built from extensive experience and experimentation, these tools enable us to help groups move with great speed on their collaboration challenges.
