We embrace the complexity of systems and manage via modeling and modularity.

We honor the many identities, roles, strengths, and capacities of each person.
A Agile over linear
We manage uncertainty through iteration, triangulation, and efficient use of methods.
N Network over hierarchy
We work with others and consciously embrace diversity, equity, and inclusiveness.
