The Technology Initiative takes a systematic approach to engage multiple partners in meaningful, measurable, and scalable programs grounded in research. It has a strong track record of building public/private partnerships that deeply engage partners based on the following shared values:
Leadership — as an intermediary we engage advocates from industry, government, higher education, K-12 schools, and the community to form leadership teams with the necessary breadth of resources, influence, and commitment to affect sustainable change.
Performance — we have a track record of success in the execution of well-articulated, research-based programs that produce real and sustainable results.
Quality — our programs receive independent evaluations to assess practices and results with an eye toward continuous improvement based on empirical data.
Scale — we understand that to affect broad-based change and social benefit, programs must provide solutions that scale regionally and are transportable to other regions, nationally.
