About.

Four One Six Consulting (416co) is a boutique consulting firm based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, founded by Saira Somani to strengthen the ability of mission-driven organisations to achieve high-impact results. We do this by awakening organisations to new ways of solving problems. We build innovation, finance, and operational capability in organisations so they have the tools, resources, and confidence to solve any problem. 

Established to Disrupt

The nonprofit sector cannot continue to operate with outdated strategies and governance + oversight practices. Fresh, new ways to face current and future challenges are needed. Through our decades of experience in staff + board work with nonprofits, we learned about these challenges firsthand and struggled with the outmoded tools that most organisations use to address them.
416co was established to push the nonprofit sector away from these outdated practices and into innovation + strategy work that is quick, effective, efficient, and cost-sensitive for its users.

Our Goals

Give small- to medium- scale organisations the resources they need to challenge incumbent organisations. 
Improve the performance of organisations as they move upmarket in their sector(s).
Find easier ways for Boards and organisations to connect the work they do to the impact it creates. 
Embed a culture of innovation. 
Facilitate workshops that are engaging, fun, content-driven, and leave participants inspired to do work.
