Darya Projects

Strategic leadership and solutions-design for people, products, and processes.

We leverage tactics that are as diverse and dynamic as the priorities of our partners, including organizational strategy, product development, governance modeling, people operations, filling knowledge or skill gaps, and responding to evolving technical, social, and market needs.

Partnering with Darya Projects is a commitment to moving from theory to practice

Scratch Foundation
Organizational Strategy, Governance Modeling, Coaching, Long-Term Business Planning

We supported the Scratch Foundation throughout their transition to becoming a standalone organization. In service of operational efficiency, employee satisfaction, and productivity, we helped establish a governance model, short- and long-term priorities, standardized workflows, decision-making processes, and strengthened feedback mechanisms across the organization. We also coached senior leadership to ensure sustainable implementation.

Hone HQ
Growth Strategy, New Product Discovery, Development, and Launch, Evaluation

Materializing Hone’s objective to be an all-in-one professional growth platform, we scoped, evaluated, designed, and piloted a new product offering, launching cross-company, global, functional peer groups for leaders in Product, Engineering, Business Development, and more.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Program Development, Process Development, Coaching, Multi-year Operational Leadership

Our team partners with other members of the Positive Working Environments Community Group to develop practices and programs to strengthen the culture of the several thousand person consortium. Our collective, ongoing initiatives include the development of a robust ombuds and mediation program, and onboarding programming for the W3C’s annual conference. This is a volunteer engagement.

OpenRefine
Research, Co-design, Multi-year Implementation Planning

Promoting clarity, safety, inclusion, and collaboration within open source communities, we partnered with OpenRefine to define, draft, and implement a new community-informed Mission, Vision, and Values and bring them to life across their international base of users, contributors, and advisors.

We weave business and human imperatives to design equitable solutions guided by our values

Transparency
We believe transparency enables clarity, honesty, and mutual accountability, all of which are critical to any effective, sustainable collaboration. We commit to creating clear processes, communicating progress, maintaining documentation, and engaging openly with all impacted stakeholders.

Attentiveness
We believe listening closely yields the best results. Perceptiveness and attunement allow us to interpret your needs and tailor our workflow, lens, and approach. We carefully consider your challenges, goals, and values as we build a future- state that is rooted in your current-reality.

Curiosity
We believe diverse expertise provides the foundation for strong ideas and inclusive practices. We embark on every conversation with inquisitiveness and openness, welcoming your context to co-create with you, design solutions, and continually iterate with evolving insight.
