Six-month hybrid engagement with cross-functional leadership at a global public innovation center, focused on embedding equity, leadership development, and change management across internal operations and practice areas.
(what we did)
Axle designed and led a sequenced culture integration strategy aligned with executive priorities during a period of growth and transition. Through identity-based trust building, institutional power mapping, creative collaboration diagnostics, and equity-centered change management frameworks, we aligned internal culture with strategic direction.
• In collaboration with equity strategists, organizational development facilitators, and public administration scholars, we held coherence across disciplines to ensure cultural transformation translated into structural change.
(impact)
Shifted institutional culture from informal collaboration toward intentional, equity-centered systems thinking. Strengthened cross-team trust, clarified levers of influence, and established shared language around power, leadership, and change—creating a durable foundation for strategic growth and operational alignment.
