About Remarkk

Remarkk is a consulting practice based in Toronto, Canada and acts an umbrella for Mark Kuznicki’s work and community collaborations alongside Remarkk’s Associates. Remarkk is a member of the Centre for Social Innovation.

What We Do

Our consulting work is focused on enabling change through engaging face-to-face events and digital experiences and multi-stakeholder collaborative processes. We are focused on helping clients ignite transformative change through social and public policy innovation.

We bring together ad hoc project teams of some of the leading practitioners from a number of fields of practice: facilitation, design, strategy and digital media. Have a look at our Associates page to get a sense of our capabilities.

Services

Events:

We make events collaborative, participatory and engaging by combining high quality content and face-to-face dialogue that is extended online through digital media.

Facilitation:

We provide facilitation services to help groups collaborate more effectively, tapping the skills and knowledge of our participants.

Multi-stakeholder Process:

We help organizations work with very diverse stakeholders to help develop transformative ideas to effect positive change. We have access to a wide variety of methods and practitioners that are suited to a variety of contexts.

Engagement Strategy:

We help organizations develop strategies to engage their constituencies, both face-to-face and online. We believe that digital social engagement does not replace the need for face-to-face interaction and that both modes can and should compliment each other.

About Mark Kuznicki

Mark Kuznicki works at the intersection of technology, open government and social innovation. Mark’s work combines social media, face-to-face gatherings and open source approaches to engage citizens, connect communities and foster creative and innovative ideas for the future.  Mark’s work is guided by a social mission:

to foster community resilience and organizational transformation in response to accelerating global change.

Mark helped organize Toronto TransitCamp, a “solutions playground” that looked at the future of Toronto’s transit system, and wrote about the model for Harvard Business Review. Mark brought a similar model to TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin, combining face-to-face community-based events, social media and broadcast journalism to engage citizens around issues relating to Ontario’s changing economy.

Mark launched ChangeCamp, an event and a community to “re-imagine government and citizenship in the age of participation”. The ChangeCamp community is spreading and sharing the ideas, tools and methods of open government, social change and citizen participation across Canada and around the world. Learn more at ChangeCamp.ca.

Prior to this, Mark worked for 7 years in client management and technology strategy in the investment industry in Toronto.
