Wise Economy Workshop

Building Future Ready Places and People.

Our approach

The Wise Economy Workshop is Della Rucker’s central location for Thinking and Doing - the kind of Thinking and Doing that equips us to build a better future for the places and people we care about.  

We’re living through an era of change, driven by deep shifts in the fundamentals of what communities, organizations and people need to thrive. Without understanding and acting on those shifts, we do the same old things with worse and worse results.

It’s time for all of us to get Future Ready.

The name explains Della’s vision:

Wise because we see a future coming that isn’t like the past,

Economy because that’s one of the main systems that communities use to meet their needs and work together, 

Workshop because no one has all the answers, and we need to discover the right ones for each place, together.

Wise Economy In Depth

Della launched the Wise Economy Workshop so that she could work on thorny problems in business and communities from a Future Ready perspective.

The Wise Economy approach draws on the power of inclusive networks to make impact and accelerate needed change.  We make that impact by designing new systems that connect across old boundaries, blow away unproductive assumptions, and make “we can’t do that” become “ of course we did.“

The Wise Economy Workshop collaborates in spaces that range from empowering diverse entrepreneurs, to experiential learning, to small business acceleration, to public engagement, to supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs, to alternative financing and economic impact analysis. 

And we take what we’re learning through all this Doing, and we share it with you as we are Thinking.  So that you can take care of the places, organizations and people that you care about, too.

As you will hear at the end of a lot of Wise Economy broadcasts, it’s time to Go Get ‘Em. 

Time for a Wise Economy Workshop approach.
