The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies (The Joint Center) creates ideas to improve the socioeconomic status and civic engagement of Black people in America. They were in transition when they reached out to us, but ready to capture and articulate a clear picture of their mission and strategy.

In the midst of a journey of change, the Black American think tank, The Joint Center, found itself at a pivotal moment. Shaped by diverse lived experiences and driven by data, the organization was navigating a transition in leadership, necessitating a nuanced and collaborative approach to redefine its meaning and purpose.
Engaging The Collective Good, the organization sought to embark on a journey of exploration, unification, and enlightenment, anchoring their vision within a robust theory of change.
Future Caucus has an audacious mission to activate young leaders, bridge the partisan divide, and transform American politics. Entering the pandemic, they welcomed a new leader and new team members. With this in mind and the increasing polarization of policymaking, Future Caucus had an opportunity to engage and grow its membership.
Amidst transitions, achieving clarity and cohesion demands a collective visioning process. We curated a collaborative space, bringing together a diverse working group from across the organization to delve deeply into the essence of their work and its impact.
Together, we examined the symbiotic relationship between The Joint Center and the communities it serves, fostering open dialogue and reflection to explore each individual's "audacious visions." Through iterative co-creation over multiple sessions, the working group forged consensus on both immediate and long-term objectives. The overarching aim was to identify key drivers of change and map the intricate connections between their efforts and the outcomes envisioned in their collective vision.
Through this iterative process of co-creation, The Joint Center emerged with a theory of change firmly rooted in their shared vision. This framework not only provides a solid foundation for future development but also serves as a guiding light for the organization's growth. Team members acknowledged the power of fostering a positive, supportive environment for open dialogue, particularly during times of transition and uncertainty

From this process, Future Caucus gained a clearer focus on building a constituency for inclusive governing and amplifying new narratives.
