Innovation
Two Gems Consulting Services designs custom information tools that suit the situation of unique communities of stakeholders. We also adopt innovative practices that expand our conceptualization of data gathering and blur the lines between qualitative and quantitative approaches. We acknowledge the power of unity in action--many of our custom approaches resonate with the unique work of our peers. Our whole field is driven by service and meeting client needs.
Insight
We cultivate listening practices that honor the wisdom clients and community bring. We hone our powers of perception and discernment, to uncover patterns and connect information that shed light on the situations and circumstances faced by our clients, whether direct data problems or nuances of power and privilege in practice.
We suggest different possibilities that we see, avoiding prejudgment or applying too narrow a focus. We strive to translate what we learn so that clients can make informed choices.
We balance information with wise interpretations and we are not afraid to invoke our intuition.
Illumination through Information
