Luminary Labs is a New York City-based strategy and innovation consultancy established in 2009. Thorny problems are our strong suit: We are energized by complex, multistakeholder spaces where the solutions are not obvious and the potential for impact is high. Our work spans a broad cross section of topics across four focus areas: the future of health, the future of work and education, scientific breakthroughs, and infrastructure. We are agile, “no surprises” consultants who work closely with government, foundation, and private-sector clients to analyze a given problem space, synthesize our learnings, surface key tensions and opportunity spaces, and guide collaborative decision-making. We then translate all of this upfront thinking into the strategies and programs that turn great ideas into great realities. To help organizations “make it real,” we convene multidisciplinary stakeholders, facilitate alignment among partners, map ecosystems, create frameworks for thoughtful and considered decision-making, build scenarios around opportunity areas, select pathways, design strategic programs — and ultimately, operationalize and launch new initiatives. When the bets are big and the stakes are high, our clients come to us for rapid alignment, smart strategies, and agile execution. We are known for setting a high bar on all aspects of execution — including communications, innovator support, stakeholder management, evaluation, and live event production. Simply put, we take pride in running seamless, high-quality programs that deliver results for our clients.
