Columinate supports your business today and prepares your business for tomorrow
As a community, co-ops hold ourselves to standards of equity and democracy that are higher than other types of businesses. But even organizations driven by passion and purpose must grow as businesses, or they have failed to serve their community.
Columinate can help you employ the latest industry strategies and tactics to turn revenue and profits into fuel for purpose and enduring impact. Columinate’s comprehensive operational support — from team building and mentoring to benchmarking sales and updating systems — gives you resources for what you face today, and guidance for whatever tomorrow brings.
