About.

The work begins with a simple reality: professionals, businesses, and organizations are being asked to deliver more impact as work, funding, and opportunity continue to shift. AI is accelerating those pressures, often without the operational support needed to absorb the change.

We work alongside Community Development Corporations (CDCs), workforce boards, and city agencies to apply AI in ways that support real programs and day-to-day operations.

The emphasis is not experimentation, but clarity. We’re helping organizations set priorities, strengthen internal capability, and adapt as conditions change.

Leadership.
Dana K. Michel, Principal

Dana K. Michel leads all client engagements and delivery. After nearly a decade at Salesforce, supporting large institutions through periods of technological and economic change, she founded the firm to help organizations build operating models that keep pace with AI.

Her work addresses a defining shift in the current and future of work that demands modernized systems and scaling impact while people increasingly expect their work to align with purpose, agency, and long-term value. 

Her clients include non-profits such as Boys & Girls Club, Children of Promise, NYC, and Harlem Commonwealth Council. She brings enterprise-level operating discipline to organizations often asked to do more with fewer resources without adding unnecessary complexity.

How We Work.

Economic mobility is the mission. AI is the tool.

Our work combines strategy and execution, shaped by an organization’s goals, constraints, and capacity.

Engagements are led by a senior core team and supported by a curated national bench of experienced specialists, allowing organizations to access the right expertise as needs evolve without unnecessary overhead or disruption.

The aim is to reduce friction so teams can stay focused on their mission rather than managing manual, fragmented, or outdated processes.
