We know that the next wave of businesses and innovations must solve social and environmental problems in order to add value and thrive.

So the next wave of leaders must be creative, adaptable, and able to integrate all of these complex puzzle pieces.

We’ve spent our careers traversing these topics and movements, building up practice and experience about what works - and what’s just hype.

We love finding the balance of fluidity + structure. Our techniques will bring in more flow where things are too rigid, and our tools will bring organization where things are too chaotic.

Our tactics include:

community-based participatory research and qualitative synthesis + analysis
virtual + in-person facilitation
impact measurement + management
experience + event design and production
user-centered research + design
ghostwriting + white papers

We love this question! Next Wave Collective can support your innovation in a number of ways: You can purchase our pre-built offerings (Strategy Camp is in-person and Surf School is online), or we can design a specialized experience for your community-led R&D.
Need an R&D partner for a project you’re still fundraising for? We also collaborate on RFPs and white label market research reports.
We are too! We’re ocean lovers, swimmers, divers and surfers - that might be why we take our next wave analogy a little too far sometimes. If you’re looking for a literal surf school, we have some recommendations for that too! Check out Surf Camp Lombok when you’re in Indonesia, Dihya Surf in Morocco!
