Innovation is more than a buzzword; it's about creating measurable impact through specific mindsets, expertise, and a tailored human-centered approach that combines diverse innovation approaches.
Our unique approach
At Ascendant, we are dedicated to empowering public, private, and social sector organizations to embrace innovation as a catalyst for positive change.
Our approach is rooted in building a culture of innovation, offering creative solutions to complex problems, and developing transformative ideas, programs, products, and services that have lasting impact on people's lives. With world-class innovation skills and a wealth of experience, we bring you not just solutions but the tools to measure their impact. Ascendant has a proven track record in diverse social impact projects, ranging from climate change and recidivism to housing equality and economic development.
Join us on a journey where innovation meets tangible outcomes – where we led the redesign of the U.S. Federal Government's digital hiring portal, increased access to school lunches nationwide, and helped Tel Aviv, Israel create a digital platform connecting parents to 600 new educational support services for their children.
