A shared space
The commons refers to resources accessible to everyone, including those found in nature and throughout culture. For us, these are resources to both use and protect.
We bring this perspective to our clients, using what we know and have experienced, in concert with the incredible resources already on tap at your organization. We seek to support and assist, to preserve what is already amazing, and harness that which can grow.
The Commons Consulting was founded in 2023 to bring together an incredible team who wanted to enable start-up and medium-sized businesses to tap into the capabilities and knowledge of the world’s leading organizations. Focused on areas that are critical for growth, but secondary to your core business, we seek to put an end to the reinvention of the wheel that regularly accompanies an organization in transition; project management, customer experience and support, legal, people operations, etc.
We saw a thirst from under-served organizations for guidance and support to take the next step and realized that the approaches and methodologies that top companies use to keep an upper hand are no longer out of the reach of the rest of us. There is no longer a monopoly on technology, methodology, talent, and knowledge.
We use our time to give you room to breath and move forward with confidence.
In the common spaces there is so much more we can do.
