Partner: Chemonics is a Washington, D.C.–based development firm that for more than 50 years has delivered innovative, flexible programs across more than 150 countries to accelerate development impact.

Project: In 2022, Chemonics launched its “Innovation Playbook,” a multimedia microsite showcasing the methodologies it uses to catalyze the innovation needed to achieve the life-improving advances that can lift billions out of poverty, including Design Thinking and TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). The Playbook highlighted approaches ranging from artificial intelligence and digital payments to new community engagement models.

BSL Role: BSL served as a strategic content and production partner in launching the Innovation Playbook, and supported Chemonics with broader storytelling and communications — producing Impact Stories and other narrative assets that elevated the organization’s work across global development priorities. (The Playbook has since been retired; archival snapshots are available here and here.)
