The turbulent economic, environmental and regulatory challenges facing California and the world today mean that more and more organizations need the information, tools and leadership to operate more sustainably. Business and society as a whole are facing crises that will only reinforce the failure of older, rationalistic approaches to problem solving. The Idea Hive was formed to meet those needs and to help organizations prepare for future challenges.

The Idea Hive is a team of current and former Green MBA students offering research, consulting and facilitation services to businesses and organizations in the Bay Area and beyond. By combining sustainability practices with cutting-edge thinking tools, the Hive helps individuals and organizations flourish and realize the power of creative collaboration.

Our mission is to promote sustainability as a strategy for thriving organizations.

Our vision is that sustainability becomes the new “business as usual.”

The ten founding members of The Idea Hive bring a rich background of experience and skills. The team practices what it preaches, using systemic methods such as conversation maps and learning narratives to enhance company decision-making. Individual members have professional background in management, high tech, graphic design, marketing and public relations, entertainment, education and curriculum design, and environmental technology solutions.
