What is the Coro difference?   

Most of today’s serious problems are too complicated to be solved within a single organizational entity.  Significant “systems” problems such as health care, transportation, urban security, or environmental degradation can often only be successfully addressed working with many key stakeholders across sectors, identifying and negotiating around individual and organizational interests in pursuit of the public interest.  Coro specializes in developing and deepening individuals’ skills and capabilities to lead in this kind of complex problem-solving process.
