Innovate to Improve Lives

Our approach is to take the uncommon path, think outside the box, and find evidence-driven solutions that last.

We partner with organizations to build and apply evidence that improves outcomes and lives.

  • What is “the adjacent possible?”

    Life often unfolds as a series of adjacencies—or small steps on the edge of our comfort zone. These adjacencies create possibilities for growth and transformation. By exploring incremental steps within, and at the edge of, an existing environment, innovators can fuel meaningful change.

  • Innovate to improve lives

    At The Adjacent Possible, we work with you to explore what is possible at the edge of current research and practice. We take time to understand your needs and circumstances and provide you with the best possible products and services to advance your work. What might we do together to explore your adjacent possible to innovate and improve lives?

  • Who we serve

    We partner with government agencies, foundations, nonprofits, researchers, and technical assistance providers to build knowledge and solve problems. Together, we design and implement innovative, evidence-driven approaches that transform how people experience and benefit from public and social services.
