ABOUT NEWPACT
Built for bold leaders.
newpact partners with nonprofits, communities, and impact-focused organizations to solve problems for good.
Our Story
In 2020, we launched with a core belief: the fastest way to drive social impact is through experiential learning. We trained subject-matter experts to become world-class facilitators, serving 50+ organizations and over 2,000 people over five years.
The learning was powerful, but we realized we were often sending highly capable people back into broken systems. Traditional consultants would put a band-aid on the system, then leave organizations dependent on retainers.
THE TURNING POINT
True transformation requires addressing both the behaviour of people and the design of the system.
Today, through newpact Workshops and newpact Solutions, we build capability and redesign systems, side by side. Both include built-in impact evaluation, and both are designed to ensure you never need to hire us for the same problem twice.
What We Believe
The problem is solvable.
Organizations don’t have impossible issues. They have undiagnosed root causes and band-aids that treated symptoms instead of fixing structures.
Knowledge isn’t enough.
Knowing what to do and actually doing it are fundamentally different. Transformation requires shifting habits and redesigning systems.
Proof is the standard.
If you can’t measure that the problem improved, you haven’t solved it.
The social sector deserves rigour.
Proven methodologies and lasting solutions shouldn’t be reserved for organizations with the biggest budgets.
THE FOUNDER
Dwaine knows that the right questions tell you more than the most polished answers. He has spent a decade translating complex knowledge into clear, actionable understanding—interrogating the why, how, and what now so leaders can mobilize change.
With experience spanning learning design, policy, and systems change, Dwaine has partnered with national agencies, universities, corporations, and municipalities to build stronger communities.
