Which way forward?

8 Bridges Workshop collaborates with leading social sector clients in philanthropy, media, and culture. Our diverse clients share one thing: they want help charting the way forward in our changing times.

Press Play

Our name, 8 Bridges Workshop, was inspired by the eight distinct bridges that cross the Mississippi from our office in St. Paul, Minnesota. We create collaborative and participatory approaches: clients work with our team to explore questions and seek solutions. No two projects are alike. We bring our team’s real-world experience to the work. We know how to develop strategy, shape program direction, develop sustainability plans, fundraise, hire teams, coach leaders, evaluate, and course correct. We know your contexts, cultures, challenges, and dreams, because we’ve been there.

Ten Years of Supporting Organizational Change

Clients come to us at critical junctures in their organization’s lifecycle. They bring questions and choices. We listen and learn with them, think through options and possibilities together, and create concrete, actionable plans that reflect the answers we reach and the directions we chart together.
