In Service: Notes from the Field
Tactical insights and thoughtful dispatches from inside the work.
How we decide who to work with
We built the Fit Snapshot to help us make thoughtful, values-aligned decisions about who we work with. This post offers a transparent look at how we assess potential partners—not to judge, but to make sure we can show up with care, clarity, and integrity.
What we mean when we say “public service”
Not all public service should be celebrated. In this post, we share what we mean by public service—acknowledging past harms while standing with those who show up to build care-centered, community-rooted systems for the future.
The problem beneath the problem in public service
Public systems aren’t just outdated—they were never built for the future we need. Here’s what we’re doing to reimagine public work from the inside out.
Boundary Spanning
Discover why boundary spanning—connecting people, ideas, and systems—is essential for solving complex public service challenges and leading across silos.
Why we chose the name Public Servants
Public Servants isn’t just the name of our consultancy—it’s a statement of purpose. A call-in. A commitment.
Introducing “In Service: Notes from the Field”
At Public Servants, we believe in building trust by working in the open—sharing not just what we’re delivering, but how we’re thinking, learning, and evolving along the way.
That’s why we’re launching In Service: Notes from the Field.
