The Challenge

SIENNA architected a first-of-its-kind innovation ecosystem connecting 20 Historically Black Colleges and Universities with technology partners, investors, and federal agencies to accelerate student entrepreneurship.

Our Approach

SIENNA brought a multidisciplinary team to this engagement, combining deep functional expertise with a rigorous diagnostic methodology. We began with a comprehensive assessment of the organization's current state, stakeholder landscape, and strategic objectives — then co-designed a transformation roadmap with the client's leadership team.

The Outcome

The engagement delivered measurable, lasting impact — 20 institutions connected. More importantly, it built the internal capability and leadership confidence for the organization to sustain and accelerate its transformation independently.
