About

The possibilities for growth are often greater than what we can see at first glance. That is where Kenyatte Tidwell thrives. Kenyatte owns and operates an investigative research, strategic planning, and systems consulting firm that explores the landscape, investigates promising possibilities, and helps growing organizations identify opportunities, solve operational challenges, and build the infrastructure needed for sustainable growth.

Part strategist, part researcher, and part organizational problem-solver, Kenyatte helps growing organizations figure out where they can grow next and what needs to be in place when they get there. Her work may begin with an opportunity to investigate, an operational challenge to solve, a resource to locate, or a growth goal that needs a practical pathway forward.

With more than 25 years of experience spanning business consulting, organizational development, leadership, project management, community engagement, and capacity building, Kenyatte has developed a particular strength for looking beneath the surface. She researches and vets opportunities, maps pathways to resources, partnerships, and revenue, identifies organizational constraints and possibilities, and helps leaders determine what must be built, transformed, or leveraged to support sustainable growth.

That combination matters because finding an opportunity is only half the equation. An organization must also have the strategy, systems, people, resources, and capacity to capitalize on it.

Known as The Ecosystem CEO™, Kenyatte views organizations as interconnected ecosystems. Strategy affects operations. Operations affect capacity. Capacity affects opportunity. And sustainable growth requires those pieces to work together intentionally. Her work helps organizations operate more efficiently, serve more people, increase revenue, expand capacity, and become better prepared for what comes next.

Kenyatte is also the founder of Life Tools University and creator of Coach Kenyatte’s Roots & Roads™, a leadership development initiative helping youth and young adults recognize their innate abilities and intentionally develop them into practical, highly valued leadership and life skills.
