After months of sheltering in place and socially distancing, it’s time to look to the future and plan for our new normal. The first steps towards reopening will require patience, listening, innovation, and stepping outside of our comfort zones. Milestone Labs has always been focused on “the day after” and we are utilizing our tools and methodologies to help organizations and position them for success.

A SHARED JOURNEY
A NEW MILESTONE
Milestone Labs was born of a simple idea and a shared frustration. We saw so much time and energy invested in incredible social innovation events, but were always left with the same question:
What happens the day after?
By focusing on defined, researched and validated social challenges and combining our experiences leading multidisciplinary collaborations, we aim to bring together those who live with challenges and those with the skills and resources to help design solutions.
