Sankore: Designing Systems. Developing Leaders. Driving Change..

We help mission-driven organizations translate values into strategy and vision into measurable impact through design, leadership, and culture.

 

At Sankore, transformation is not a one-time initiative it’s a system.
We equip leaders and organizations to disrupt inequities, reimagine systems, and act with courage. Our work brings together:

  • Liberatory Design Thinking & Design Sprints: to solve complex challenges with inclusion at the center

  • Courageous Leadership Development: to empower leaders to act boldly in real time

  • Intercultural Innovation: to measure and sustain growth across cultures and contexts

These three pillars form the Sankore System for Transformative Leadership: a unified pathway where Design, Leadership, and Culture converge to create lasting, liberatory impact.

Design

Liberatory Design Thinking
Reimagine systems with justice at the center.

Our design sprints and workshops move teams from stuck to strategic

fast.

We help you uncover root challenges, prototype bold solutions, and align people around equity-driven innovation.

Leadership

Cultivating Courage Mastermind
Leadership isn’t learned in theory it’s built in community.

 

Through real-time coaching and peer-driven growth, we help leaders act with courage, navigate complexity, and lead change that lasts.

Culture

Intercultural Innovation Framework
Culture can be measured, and it can be transformed.

Using the IDI as a foundation, we turn assessment into action helping leaders and organizations close cultural gaps, strengthen inclusion, and drive measurable progress.

Our Unique Approach

We don't just run workshops.

we equip your teams with a proven process that ensures your innovation is both fast and fair.

we build systems for lasting change.

What makes our approach different?

That’s why leaders trust Sankore to navigate complexity, align teams, and accelerate impact.

 

A System,

Not a Silo

 

Most organizations treat design, leadership, and culture as separate efforts. We integrate them into one pathway, ensuring every initiative reinforces the others.

From Insight to Action 

We move leaders beyond concepts into real-time application. Every tool, framework, and session translates directly into actionable strategies you can use tomorrow. 

Courage at the Core

 

Sustainable change requires bold decisions. We help leaders develop the courage to disrupt inequities, challenge the status quo, and drive measurable transformation.
