Who Are We?
At Tangerine Lab we apply the principles of human-centered design (HCD) and systems thinking to address a wide array of complex challenges faced by organizations, individuals, and communities globally,  often in the most resource challenged and underserved regions of the world. Our experience encompasses pressing societal issues including improving access to quality and affordable healthcare, enhancing maternal and child health and nutrition, tackling poverty by addressing its systemic root causes, promoting financial inclusion for all, confronting climate change, and understanding the effects of social movements on society and organizations.

We also engage with intricate organizational challenges, such as developing go-to-market strategies for innovative new products and services, fostering human-centered organizational cultures that prioritize client needs and objectives, and implementing digital and automation strategies that leverage emerging technologies and tools.

Our mission is to support and guide our clients in strategizing, designing, and implementing solutions that adapt to the evolving needs of the communities they serve. Committed to delivering sustainable, high-impact results, we employ design thinking, human-centered approaches, systems thinking, and futures thinking to create comprehensive solution roadmaps. These roadmaps help clients prioritize their investments of time, money, and human resources—from quick wins to transformative strategies and disruptive innovations.

Our differentiating ethos is founded on the belief that human-centricity, design thinking, systems thinking, and futures thinking are learnable and adoptable behaviors that enhance how we work and solve problems collectively, at every organizational level and with the communities we serve. In our engagements, we empower our clients by transferring our methods, tools, and frameworks, enabling them to continue applying these approaches to address their most complex challenges long after their partnership with Tangerine Lab concludes.

We employ an evidence-based approach to strategy development that guides, enables, validates, and measures the effectiveness of our strategies.
 
Our solutions are holistic, integrating a range of enablers such as people, processes, policies, data assets, and technology components. Our roadmaps are flexible, adapting to the evolving goals and resources of our clients. We empower our clients with a rapid, cost-effective, and agile methodology, fostering long-term success and sustainability through a "think big, start small, learn mindfully, and scale fast" approach.

At Tangerine Lab, our multi-sectoral expertise is built on over 30 years of global leadership and consultancy experience across startups and large organizations. We have worked extensively, in the U.S., Africa, Middle East, Asia, and Latin America in fields such as international development, financial inclusion, non-profits, government, healthcare, nutrition, finance, mobile technology, media, green and climate technology and beyond.
