About Sunny Bates Associates

Sunny Bates Associates (SBA) is an innovation firm that mobilizes an extraordinary network of thinkers and doers to generate new ideas, new approaches, and new solutions to challenges that can only be solved through the insights that come from surprising human connections. As the pace of progress accelerates in all fields, it’s nearly impossible to address the biggest challenges you face—and seize the opportunities you sense—using only the minds you have in your organization. To stay relevant, understand the latest trends and ideas in your industry (and adjacent fields), and move ahead quickly and confidently toward the next opportunities, you and your team need consistent strategic interactions with the world’s best thinkers and doers. SBA provides those interactions through custom engagements, including: > Network Curation: SBA will develop a strategically relevant custom network to provide overarching guidance to an executive, expertise on a specific issue, aide in a transition, or solutions to a pressing challenge. > Network Experiences: SBA will accelerate your team’s learning and create meaningful connections through large scale ‘unconference’ experiences, thought-leadership dinners, and/or unique, high-impact working groups. SBA is led by Sunny Bates, a maven connector whose genius is developing networks of extraordinary people and connecting their ideas in surprising ways toward concrete outcomes. As an author, serial entrepreneur, mentor, and advisor, her client roster has included some of the world’s most prominent companies and organizations, from GE, TED, Credit Suisse, and Guardian, to the Pentagon, the National Academy of Sciences, Techstars, and Kickstarter (of which she is a founding board member).
