“Our staff adopted Emergent Learning to arrive at clear intentions, expose our thinking to others, and rely on careful observation to assess and learn from every decision and activity. Learning isn’t ‘bolted on,’ but instead integrated seamlessly into how we do our work.”
“Since working with 4QP in 2007, we have transformed our evaluation and learning culture. We now routinely use Emergent Learning tools as well as developmental evaluation, supported by internal certified EL practitioners. Together, they have been essential to driving greater impact for the communities we serve.”
"Using Emergent Learning, our community leaders are learning more quickly and importantly, putting that learning to work to solve what were historically considered intractable education challenges."
At the foundation of our work is a deep respect for the wisdom and experience of people who come together to create a better world. We help our clients and their communities ask questions that invite all of their wisdom into the conversation. We provide very simple tools and practices that support rigorous thinking and learning together through time about everything from their largest strategies to their most tactical decisions and actions.
