TKB Strategies
Open frameworks, tools, and methodology for mission-driven organizations.
TKB Strategies is a human-centered strategy consulting firm specializing in liberation-centered organizational development, executive coaching, and capacity building. OpenStrategies is the public-facing repository where our consulting methodology, frameworks, tools, and templates live as open-source — version-controlled, forkable, and free to use.
The premise is simple: the frameworks and tools that strengthen organizations should be accessible, not locked behind proposals.
- Compassionate Agility — A framework for navigating organizational change through empathy, clarity, and adaptive leadership.
- Liberation Mapping — Strategic planning methodology that centers dignity, collective care, and systemic transformation.
- The Steward's Manual — A guide for mission-driven leaders on sustainable organizational stewardship.
- Patterns & Protection Quiz — Trauma-informed self-reflection tool for understanding workplace response patterns. Built as a custom WordPress plugin.
- Workshop Templates — Reusable facilitation structures for trainings, retreats, and conference sessions.
- Documentation Site — Browse all frameworks and methodology on our Docusaurus-powered site.
Client-specific data, engagement details, financials, or confidential organizational information. Our client work lives in private systems. This is the reusable, public-facing layer.
We welcome contributions that align with the mission and meet the standards outlined below.
The client-data boundary is non-negotiable. Before committing anything, ask: "Could I share this publicly without compromising any client or individual?" If the answer is no, it doesn't belong here. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full policy.
All conversations and contributions are expected to be positive, productive, and respectful. This repository reflects a liberation-centered practice — that includes how we treat each other in issues, pull requests, and discussions.
If you've found something that needs fixing or have an idea for improving a framework, template, or tool, open an issue. We read every one.
If you've applied one of these frameworks and learned something that wasn't obvious, your experience can strengthen the documentation for everyone. Framework docs are Markdown files in the site/docs/ directory and publish automatically to the documentation site on merge to main.
Open an issue first so we can discuss scope and approach. When ready, submit a pull request against main. All changes go through PR review — direct pushes to main are blocked by branch protection.
