polycrisis stakeholder map

The Cascade Institute uses stakeholder and social network mapping tools to better understand our strategic environment, to identify and engage with key stakeholders, and to better assess our impact. Here, we present all the participants in the V. K. Rasmussen Foundation’s Exploring the Polycrisis conference, affiliated institutions working on related themes, and their connections. Our database is built in Airtable and visualized using a systems mapping tool called Kumu, and functions essentially as a digital network rolodex.
