Supporting Indigenous digital outcomes
Welcome to the early November issue of the Button Insight Newsletter!
The big story
Our commitment to supporting Indigenous digital outcomes
In our modern digital era, digital transformation is a driving force behind the evolution and progress of various markets, in both the public and private sectors. Private-sector consultancies, particularly those focused on digital transformation, play a pivotal role in shaping this evolution.
The collaboration between Button, a prominent impact-oriented Digital Transformation consultancy and Takoda Consulting, an Indigenous, Women-owned service consultancy, presents an innovative approach to supporting Indigenous communities.
For Button, this is a journey of listening, learning, and understanding.

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE:
Takoda Consulting and Button forge a powerful partnership to empower Indigenous communities with digital strategies
Takoda Consulting, a visionary Indigenous, Woman-owned company, and Button Inc., a dynamic software and digital services development agency, are thrilled to announce their strategic partnership aimed at creating meaningful change and empowerment for Indigenous communities.
This extraordinary collaboration represents a pivotal moment in the journey towards creating sustainable, inclusive, and innovative digital solutions that uplift Indigenous communities. Guided by Haleigh Callison, a member of the Hwlitsum First Nation, Takoda Consulting is deeply committed to fostering collaboration between Indigenous communities and industries, creating mutually beneficial relationships that enrich both parties. Takoda's mission aligns perfectly with Button, a versatile agency known for its dedication to sustainability, social impact, transparency, and making a difference.

Takoda Consulting and Button share a common vision: to support Indigenous communities by uncovering potential learning and employment opportunities and giving back in meaningful ways. By joining forces, they aim to leverage their combined expertise to provide these communities with innovative digital strategies and solutions that will not only bring about positive change but also empower community members.
Worth Your Attention
What We’re Reading: Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results
Few things will change your trajectory in life or business as much as learning to think clearly. Yet few of us recognize opportunities to think in the first place.
You might believe you’re thinking clearly in the moments that matter most. But in all likelihood, when the pressure is on, you won’t be thinking at all. And your subsequent actions will inevitably move you further from the results you ultimately seek—love, belonging, success, wealth, and victory. According to Farnam Street founder Shane Parrish, we must get better at recognizing these opportunities for what they are, and deploying our cognitive ability in order to achieve the life we want.
