Basecamp is our cohort-based, cross-organizational leadership program for senior leaders from across the country. Basecamp takes place over the course of approximately 3 months with an opening 2-day introductory session followed by additional programming, including group work, readings, and individual assignments. Basecamp alumni are members of the Groundwater Network and are invited to ongoing events, network conversations, and convenings. For more information or details on how to organize a Basecamp within your sector or community, contact us.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Basecamp

Our scalable learning solutions are designed to quickly build shared language, foundational knowledge, and organizational commitment across large numbers of employees and/or stakeholders. High-quality, interactive video modules present our Groundwater analysis, as well as examinations of bias, narrative, history, and the racial arrangement. The program can be customized to include both live and offline components, and to offer more in-depth exploration for leadership while scaling broadly to an organization&rsquo;s front lines. For more information on how to bring scalable learning to your institution, contact us.

 Scalable Learning

We offer advisory services and consulting to corporations and non-profit organizations to achieve equity and inclusion results, closing the gap between intention and impact. This includes strategic assessment and planning, as well as longer term advisory and implementation support. As appropriate, the Groundwater Institute strategically partners with other firms (i.e. Boston Consulting Group, the Bridgespan Group, PolicyLink) in order to bring the best of our collective capabilities to our clients. We seek to work in deep relationship with exemplar organizations - clients who have the highest aspirations to set the model for their stakeholders and industry. For more information on advisory services to help your organization achieve its equity goals, contact us.

Advisory and Consulting Services 

Over this year we have hosted many sessions, met hundreds of leaders, and built the Groundwater Institute Network. Join us in our opening as the Groundwater Institute community of leaders gather once again. Together, we will recognize, lift up, and celebrate the collaborative efforts of our Network over the past year and what we&rsquo;ve built collectively as we stand United in the Work!
