WHO WE ARE

Elevating Communities, Fostering Liberation:

Our Vision for Change

At Key Strategic Group, we approach this work with innovation and connectivity. We aim to promote greater economic prosperity and equity by innovating workforce systems, developing scalable community economies, engaging with the community, and forming strategic partnerships.

Our goal is to build stronger, more resilient communities. We work with intention; listening and collaborating to prioritize the client’s expertise and lived experiences of those impacted to identify sustainable strategies and implement creative solutions grounded in impact and equity.

We take pride in our unique approach that combines subject-matter expertise with a community-driven mindset. While our deep bench of data experts ensures a robust foundation of research and analysis, we recognize that meaningful and sustainable change comes from collaborating directly with all stakeholders.

DATA-INFORMED APPROACH

Our data-informed approach serves as a powerful tool to develop a collective vision, strategy, and action plan that addresses the root causes of inequity and fosters measurable outcomes in social, racial, and health equity. We collect demographic, economic, and social data from national, state, and local data sources, and then:

analyze to determine the social and economic conditions of relevant target populations.

aggregate the relevant data to develop data- and evidence-informed social systems solutions

visualize and present data in a digestible and comprehensive format for clients and shared interest partners.

OUR VALUES

We are a diverse group of change agents and purposeful systems builders who share a set of core values. Key Strategic Group adheres to this set of fundamental values to guide our work. Through our collaboration with the community, we have identified these principles as key components for advancing equitable transformation.

U

TRANSPARENCY + AUTHENTICITY

We prioritize transparency and authenticity in all our interactions. Our team, composed of individuals with diverse lived experiences and expertise, brings their authentic selves to the table, driven by a shared commitment to radical anti-racism. These values underpin our relationships, aligning our actions with our unwavering dedication to promoting equity and justice.

ACTIVE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

We believe that the active engagement of individuals and community members in matters, both formal and informal, affects social and spatial wellbeing. Community members must have an ability to have a stake in the property, process, outcome, and other assets. Through our work, we build the capacity for community ownership by engaging with wide range of expertise and lived experiences that converge to create a powerful force for change. Our approach prioritizes the voices of those most impacted by inequity, ensuring that their perspectives shape our work. By celebrating the strengths of all individuals, we navigate challenges creatively and develop innovative solutions that lead to positive and transformative outcomes in communities.

INTEGRITY

We understand that trust is earned through consistent, honest, and transparent actions. We are resolute in delivering on our commitments and building strong, trusting relationships with our partners. Our integrity is not just about what we say but also about how we show up, making meaningful contributions to the collective pursuit of social transformation.

EQUITY

Equity is our unwavering commitment to justice and liberation. We dismantle oppression, break barriers, and ensure equal access to opportunities and power. At KSG, it’s not a buzzword; it’s our heartbeat. Centering equity in every decision, we amplify voices that have been silenced and forgotten to create a just and equitable world. We challenge biases, push boundaries, and forge a path toward a future where justice is a right for all.
