Respect for leadership. Perspective for the work.
Who Bluestone serves
Bluestone begins with respect for what leaders already know about their people, organizations and responsibilities.
Indigenous Nations & Organizations
A decision needs to be made. A proposal lands on your desk. An opportunity comes forward. Something is not sitting right. Or an idea discussed for years may finally be ready to move.
Indigenous leaders already know their people, communities and responsibilities. Sometimes another experienced perspective, a useful question or additional information is enough to make the path ahead clearer.
Bluestone works alongside leaders and their teams on decisions, opportunities, partnerships, economic development, governance, government matters, major projects and other priorities.
Government & Institutions
A mandate has been given. A policy needs to move. A major initiative involves Indigenous Nations. Or a relationship that once worked is not working the way it should.
Governments and institutions already have experienced policy, legal, technical and professional teams. What can be useful is another perspective from someone who has spent decades working across Indigenous leadership, government and business.
Bluestone advises as leaders work through different responsibilities, rights, interests and priorities and look for practical ways to move important work forward.
Business
You have a good business and see an opportunity to work with an Indigenous Nation or organization but getting to the real business conversation is not always straightforward.
Tony has spent decades around those tables from the Indigenous, business and economic-development sides. Bluestone helps companies understand what is in front of them, consider where interests may align and determine how to approach the conversation.
Sometimes that leads to a partnership. Sometimes an introduction makes sense. Sometimes more work needs to be done first.
