Every community has capacities, untapped capabilities and assets to deliver systemic change.
-
Change needs to be evidence-based, using a mix of hard and soft data.
-
Change is delivered through the collective efforts of a diverse network of organizational partnerships.
To help organizations and municipalities achieve systemic change, we provide analysis, planning and project delivery services based on decades of experience from on-the-ground project delivery in Israel, the US and the UK.

THE BTF WORKFLOW
Analyze & Map
We build an in-depth picture of the collective and individual strengths and potential of the project or organization. We use a mix of tools and methods.
1
Identify Potential
Potential is built-in to every person, team and organization. We meet with stakeholders, talk, listen and create a range of activities to uncover hidden potential.
2
Establish Trust
Successful, and most importantly, sustainable changes should address the needs and sensitivities of actors coming from three main arenas; civic, bureaucratic and political.
3
Facilitate Change
Change facilitation is the ability to nourish change, and relies on a combination of political and community will to accept the impact of change.
4
Build Capacity
Capacity building is the actualization of ability. The objective is to create sustainable capacity that is based on a mutual vision and shared interest.
5
Transfer Ownership
Ownership is a sense of consensus on leadership and responsibility for the impact of decisions.
