The Leading Experts Changing the Way We Manage Change
Our Story & Vision
Why We Do What We Do
Our founder and CEO, Nancy Murphy, has spent her career saying what others are afraid to – and learning to say it in ways that others will listen. She’s led big change initiatives and advocated small shifts inside philanthropy, government, nonprofits, and businesses. Along the way, she learned some lessons the hard way, and crafted solutions to the challenges, frustrations, and resistance that come with organizational change. She founded CSR Communications in 2014 to share all of that with leaders like you to help you change your organization for the better.
Why does that matter?
When large organizations and legacy institutions become more innovative, equitable, sustainable, inclusive, healthier, and overall better places to work, the systems they operate in also change, and so does our world. That’s why we work with “intrapreneurs,” those leaders with entrepreneurial mindset and innovative thinking who disrupt organizations from within, creating change, at scale, faster.
We count some of the best-known nonprofits and foundations, celebrated corporate leaders in sustainability and best places to work, and innovative municipal agencies among our clients.
Our vision is a world where organizations, and the people within them, evolve with ease to achieve increasing levels of innovation, sustainability, equity, inclusion and growth.
Our Mission
We leverage human psychology to make organizational change possible.

Consistency
We create consistently high-quality experiences for our team members and our clients. We consistently deliver results.
