B Global by Design

​​

We are a global alliance of and for creatives, designers and changemakers who want to make a difference locally and across borders and cultures.
 

Through our alliance, members strengthen one another, build new models, share ideas and build networks. 

​​​

We also  partner with businesses, policymakers, foundations, and investors to co-create products, systems, services and community programs. Because innovation is not enough to shape the world the way we want to live it, and to make our products, services, investments, programs and communities impactful and desirable.  The future demands creativity and design to re-imagine systems and models, equip stakeholders, build networks, use (and re-use) resources, and engage purpose to drive value, reduce risk, and improve lives across community development, industries and systems.

​

Our foundational belief is creatives and designers make the world better for everyone.

Advisory & Design Labs

Creative Innovation Labs (CILs) are 2-day 'hack-a-thon' style incubators to come up with prototypes for community programs, new products or services, foundation programs or initiatives tied to strategic roadmaps or plans.

 

They can be stand-alone offerings or part of a fuller stakeholder engagement and planning consultancy. Select B Global by Design members sit support the workshop to make these truly creative.

 

We'll paint murals, build with blocks or somehow get everyone out of their heads and working together. All workshops are based on integrative design principles (see Stanford d.schools).

 

We pull from our global case studies of how problems were solved to help inspire solutions and prototypes suitable for your organization, system or community.

Why the Creative Community

From New York City to Nairobi, from Phnom Penh to Pittsburgh, the creative economy is quietly—yet powerfully—shaping how people work, innovate, and connect.

The Importance of Social in ESG

It’s the most human dimension of Environmental, Social, and Governance standards, and the one that determines whether companies can build not just compliance—but culture, trust, and long-term value.

Cross Stakeholder Engagment

Many of the most urgent challenges facing the United States today—inequity in access to services, environmental degradation, economic stagnation in disinvested communities, and public health disparities—are not isolated problems.
