What is VeraSage?
Not to think like us,
but to think with us.
VeraSage Institute is the most revolutionary think tank for professional knowledge firms—we challenge the professions to break free of practice methods that hurt the professions, undermine their purposes, and fail their clients.
VeraSage is the combination of the words veracity and sagacity, meaning true wisdom.
Among our quests: burying the billable hour and archaic timesheets; pricing on purpose; and recognizing that professionals are knowledge workers, not machines.
We are guided by the Principles and Values articulated in our Declaration of Independence.
A think tank operates in the arena of ideas by observing actual conditions, positing, testing, and constantly revising theories of how the world works, and is an advocate for those ideas it believes will create a better future for posterity.
We operate as a non-profit entity offering our collective intellectual capital to further our ideas and ideals. Our Fellows have all pledged to help their colleagues in any way possible to expand our intellectual capital and increase our sphere of influence.
All this we do only for the price of seeing you, our colleagues, succeed.
