Speaker 2 (00:06):
We frame our approach in three phases. We listen, we create,
and we adapt. So listening is about the evidence. We're
a research first company, so research isn't all that we do,
but it's foundational to how we approach every challenge right
and nothing can be done without this step. That guide's
everything we do from there. And the second thing we
do is we create and this is about moving people,

(00:26):
that action and that creation. That can take a lot
of forms as well. It could be policy change, it
could be a process, could be a training, could be technology,
could be a communication or a campaign. But the term
create here is actually very important. And then the last
one is a data and this is about learning, right,
we got to go back to the evidence. We're going
to say what work, what didn't work, how can we improve?
And so the majority of our work is actually with

(00:47):
the federal government, but we have a growing footprint with states,
with nonprofits and commercial firms as well.
