Projects
In addition to multi-year programs, InSTEDD also develops short, focused, and specific projects that might benefit from a collaborative approach or the use of our tools. InSTEDD’s support might include consulting, facilitation, coordination, demonstration events, research, or engineering, depending on the nature of the challenge.
InSTEDD is choosing projects whose results can be broadly applied and have significant impact. The possibilities have proven far better than we'd hoped and we anticipate a number of valuable events in 2009-2010.
