If we can share our experience and learn from yours, we can build great things together.

We offer 100’s of years of lessons won: designing, implementing and managing local, state, and national programs. On the Visionlink staff are disaster experts, youth advocates, certified I&R specialists, education reformers, foundation program officers, system builders, data exchange experts—not to mention our amazing engineers and IT professionals.

Who We Work With

We have worked with governor's offices and community college presidents, foundation program officers, local organizers and food bank volunteers, youth at risk, international medical donors, health care experts, aging specialists, and the champions building statewide networks of community services. They all work to connect networks of assets with individuals and families in need. The objective? More resilient and successful communities.

Breakthrough Framework

We are often retained when something is not going well, and in that role we have learned to focus not only on the core stages of change management, but on the breakthroughs that allow progress from one stage to another. Because it's the connections between the stages that often fail, we have learned to focus on the in-betweens.

Visionlink's Breakthrough Framework captures not only the cycle of change, but also the breakthrough indicators that define the readiness to move to the next step.
