About Collective Insight
At Collective Insight, we place lived experience at the forefront of all we do. Since 2014, we have worked with corporations, academic institutes, community-based organizations, and publicly funded local, state, and national entities to elevate the community voice within research, policy, and programs.
Through this work, we have seen firsthand the ways in which community engagement makes programs person-centered, effective, and cost-efficient. We also have seen firsthand why organizational and community leaders get frustrated with engagement being so resource intensive, leading to little or slow change, and even weakening trust.
We know our trainings, whether you choose live or on-demand, will make community engagement more effective, boost team productivity and innovation, and inspire greater community participation.
