Partnerships built for impact

Inclusive Partner Program

Social Sharing

Strong partnerships drive stronger outcomes. That’s why we collaborate with trusted industry partners across the globe — to better serve our clients and make a lasting impact in every community we reach.

Created in partnership with experienced business leaders across the country, our Inclusive Partner Program fuels these partnerships, placing a strong emphasis on small businesses. It fosters meaningful collaboration, builds long-term relationships and supports dynamic project teams that reflect the communities we serve.

At the heart of the program is the CannonDesign Collective, a 12-week interactive journey focused on knowledge sharing, professional development and relationship building between participating firms and CannonDesign. It’s a two-way active learning experience, meaning CannonDesign facilitates sessions focused on business growth and development, and participating companies share their insights and knowledge to help each other grow and improve their businesses. And it’s fun! It’s an exciting opportunity for all participants to create relationships with kindred spirits, share ideas, think big and sharpen their craft.

Testimonials

  • I credit CannonDesign as a catalyst for our business’ growth today. They were willing to give us a chance, which turned into a large project award that we could add to our resume. And it helped us win other healthcare and higher academic projects. We have been able to grow from two people to eight because of CannonDesign’s program and inclusion.

  • During the program, there was a thread that continued through all the courses. It was about doing better: in design, in the delivery of services, and how we can be more representative of those communities that we serve.

    Stuart Shell Associate Principal, BranchPattern

  • What I took away from the CannonDesign Collective process was the feeling of being heard. The sessions we got the most data from were the client panels, where we could hear directly from the horse’s mouth. It was nice that CannonDesign brought in so many different people for us to meet and learn from.
