Our Approach
The challenges of the world are not, at bottom, technical, but human in nature. To understand people and their motivations, to work with them towards solutions, and to build shared meaning together is to build a better world.
At each stage, our network of expert facilitators, researchers and technical experts work with people to solve problems, document possible solutions, and craft pathways to scaleable & sustainable implementation.
Vihara is an innovation and impact practice that works from ideas to products to systems to pilots to strategy and policy.
