Who we are

"Innovation is fostered by information gathered from new connections; from insights gained by journeys into other disciplines or places; from active, collegial networks and fluid, open boundaries. Innovation arises from ongoing circles of exchange, where information is not just accumulated or stored, but created. Knowledge is generated anew from connections that weren't there before." - Margaret J. Wheatley, Leadership and the New Science, 1992, p. 113

This definition of innovation captures our motives for creating Standing Rock Partners. We are continually and intentionally seeking new connections in order to gather information in order to foster innovation. Our fascination is with the journey, our fellow travelers, and what we can learn from one another whenever and wherever our paths may merge.

Our goal is to never stop growing. Our method for doing so is to always be creating information for others and with others through collegial networks of likeminded innovators. By arriving at this web site, your path has already merged with ours. Feel free to contact us and let us begin a conversation. Who knows what insights we will gain and innovations we will foster, together. Standing Rock Partners specializes in providing technology solutions for non-profit organizations.

Our career paths include local church ministry, public and academic libraries, higher education, computer application development, and land conservation. Our entrepreneurial approach to problem solving is driven by our desire to leave the world a better place than we found it by partnering with communities and organizations that share this vision.
