Equity-Centered Design.

It emphasizes inviting diverse co-creators, identifying systems of power and inequity, and co-creating solutions with the community, not for them.

Testimonials.
“For months, our workgroup had spun our wheels trying to strategize around very overwhelming issues—poverty, inequality, race and the American Dream. That’s hard to do with a room full of very busy, very passionate people who love to talk! Bringing idealect in to help lead our group was a pivot point in the evolution of our work. I had never seen that level of creativity and productivity come out in such a short amount of time. The group did not lack good ideas—they lacked a well-facilitated process to explore them.”
“If forward thinking had a forward-thinking department, that’s where Mark works best.”

“Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas is so lucky to have worked with Mark Logan. When I told our Board of Directors that he had partnered with us on a project, they were thrilled – his reputation preceded him! And his contributions to our work were outstanding. He is strategic, creative, disciplined, and smart… He’s also fun and adaptable, and really “gets” how he can add value in a variety of ways. We would jump at the chance to work with him again!”
