Our Model
Creating the connective tissue that supports collective action
Constructive bridges a critical gap in the existing climate and clean energy landscape by weaving together events, dialogues, strategy, and storytelling into cross-sector engagement platforms that move markets. We help key energy and climate stakeholders connect, collaborate, and advance practical solutions to unlock energy abundance and a thriving planet.
Flagship Events
We produce extraordinary events in partnership with influential organizations to build trust, transparency, and momentum across the climate and energy ecosystem.
Engagement formats go beyond standard keynote and panel discussions — from immersive spaces showcasing innovative technologies, to interactive ‘office hours’ with public officials, to problem-solving workshops that address deployment bottlenecks. Each element is designed to create shared experiences that spark new relationships.
Sustained Dialogues
We facilitate multi-session, outcome-centric dialogues between cross-sector leaders to solve targeted challenges.
Whether accelerating next-generation geothermal deployment or boosting climate resilience in local communities, these structured, ongoing convenings focus on the what, who, and how of execution. We draw on professional facilitation techniques and tools to move the conversation forward from candid insights and shared priorities to firm commitments and joint action.
Engagement Platforms
We collaborate with public sector leaders to transform how they engage with the private sector and broader ecosystem, drawing on practical lessons from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Knitting existing strategies, reports, and events together around common factbases and roadmaps, these engagement tracks establish shared priorities and execution rhythm for deployment and investment. Multiple engagement tracks converge at Constructive-produced flagship events, anchoring and accelerating progress.
Nurturing a more effective energy and climate ecosystem
Public-private sector collaboration to address energy and climate challenges is as critical as ever. But the people who finance, regulate, innovate and build are still — too often — flying solo. Constructive’s approach breaks down those silos over time and builds a foundation of transparency and trust — helping decision-makers understand one another’s goals, challenges, incentives, and resources.
Designed backwards from desired outcomes
Whether a small workshop or a flagship event, every convening we co-produce is designed with intentionality to answer the question “what happens after?"
New relationships, trust, and common truths established
Framework agreements that align policy and investment decisions
Formation of cross-sector coalitions to address critical challenges
Momentum sustained through immediate commitments and joint action
Capabilities that underpin our integrated approach
Constructive combines expert facilitation, human-centered design, and outstanding production to deliver transformative engagements — all rooted in proven models pioneered at institutions such as Bloomberg, McKinsey & Co, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
⬢ Industry Expertise
We build on decades of experience across energy, government, technology, finance, and media. We center subject matter experts and leading knowledge partners to ensure robust insights.
⬢ Convening Power
To get the right people in the room we partner with ‘superconnectors’ — people who build new bridges between sectors and disciplines to unlock the full collective potential of an ecosystem.
⬢ Experience Design
Drawing on the power of architecture to shape experience and interaction, we design and build immersive spaces that facilitate new connections, transparency, and trust.
⬢ Expert Facilitation
We apply best-in-class facilitation techniques to pinpoint problems, map solutions, and integrate results into a common fact base and clear priorities.
⬢ Inspiring Narratives
We find the clarity on the other side of complexity and illuminate shared goals and strategies through visual and verbal storytelling, with strong editorial standards.
⬢ AI-Enabled Coordination
We use innovative technology to bring coordination and speed to the next level, accelerating data synthesis, progress tracking, publications and feedback loops.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff Reports are available here for download. These reports were developed with extensive private sector input to understand the current state of play and roadmap to commercialization for clean energy technologies. Because they were created by the U.S. Government, the reports are in the public domain. Download the reports →
