Challenge
Our client was seeking to transition from one generation of leaders to another in the face of a rapidly evolving public and private landscape around funding education and inner-city development (e.g., gentrification, politics, etc.). The new CEO needed to inspire the new leadership team to prepare for the next 30 years, after decades of tremendous success in positively impacting opportunities for children and families in Harlem and beyond. IPL’s goal was to build internal trust, improve collaboration and create sustainable culture change.
