Turn sticky challenges into equitable change.

Expand what’s possible.

When systems get stuck and complexity stalls progress, Fifth Scope helps your team turn fragmentation, confusion, and competing priorities into clarity, alignment, and action.

We’ll cut through the chaos together to create systems that serve everyone.

About Us

Fifth Scope is a consulting collective that partners with communities, organizations, and public system leaders to co-create solutions for lasting social change. We bring expertise in systems transformation, facilitation, and leadership development so teams can find the shared understanding and direction they need to fully honor their vision.

At the heart of our work lies an uncompromised commitment to justice. We’re who you turn to when you want to move beyond compliance-focused processes to people-focused progress.

Community insight stays at the center.

Emergent solutions take precedence over hyper-distillation or forced agreement.

Equity and human dignity — in the work and in the world — are non-negotiable.

Together, we can create a reality where we get beyond meeting needs to building and realizing dreams, for everyone.

Our Services

We help partners design and strengthen systems that honor dignity, advance equity, and improve outcomes for individuals and communities. Our work builds the relationships, insight, and infrastructure needed to make sustainable change. 


  • Get a better understanding of the hidden dynamics in your existing systems and identify where unintended consequences hamper desired outcomes. Whether it’s shaping governance structures, clarifying decision-making processes, or coordinating efforts across sectors, let’s build and refine systems that work with and for people. 

  • Translate your equity commitments into actionable tools. From equity impact assessments to decision-making rubrics, we’ll help you operationalize your values and measure what matters most.

  • Get beyond a box check; your communities are experts in their own experience. Our engagement processes lift up collective knowledge, build trust, and translate insight into meaningful action. 

  • Your people are key to achieving sustained change. Create spaces where they can learn together, strengthen relationships, and develop the culture needed to move complex work forward through leadership institutes, communities of practice, workshops, and retreats.

  • Cultivate custom learning processes that honor stories as data. Our participatory evaluation approaches enable your team to reflect, adapt, and strengthen your impact through targeted insight and the iteration it propels.
