Outcomes Delivered

Six Decision-Makers.
Six Outcomes.

Each of these started the same way: a leader with a problem, an authority to act, and no time to find and vet the answer. Connect took it from there.

Vincere Health and Centene
Outcome 01

The Nation's Largest Medicaid Provider.

Centene × Vincere Health

Connect's process enabled Centene, the country's largest Medicaid provider, to supply services to a severely at-risk population by delivering independently verified smoking cessation to women who were pregnant. Vincere was the sole innovation that could meet their needs.

Script, LINQ and the State of Arizona
Outcome 02

$4 Million In. Millions Saved.

State of Arizona × Script / LINQ

When the Governor sought to invest ARPA funds to save schools money, he turned to Connect to deliver an innovative solution. Script is projected to save schools $10s-$100s of millions due to the $4 million invested by the state.

ResourceX and the City of Seattle
Outcome 03

$240M Shortfall. Priority-Based Answer.

City of Seattle × ResourceX

The city of Seattle is dealing with a $240 million budget shortfall for the year 2025. Decision-makers need better information to prioritize funding allocations. Connect provided ResourceX with an innovative plan that allowed them to implement priority-based budgeting for Seattle on a tight timeline.

Knack and Georgia Tech
Outcome 04

President & Provost, Supported.

Georgia Tech × Knack

Universities compete to attract and retain top-tier students. Knowing this, Connect brought Georgia Tech together with Knack. The University President and Provost immediately understood how Knack's peer-tutoring platform would expand students' access to expert on-campus tutors.

CheckUps and the State of Georgia
Outcome 05

A Rural Manpower Shortage. Answered.

Georgia DJJ × CheckUps

The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice wanted to address a manpower shortage in rural counties. Connect identified, vetted, and delivered a CheckUps pilot program to assess its suitability for the state's needs.

Cope Notes and ICMA
Outcome 06

ICMA's Innovation Partner.

ICMA × Cope Notes

ICMA members required a scalable mental healthcare solution to prevent burnout during the pandemic. As ICMA's innovation partner, Connect was responsible for discovering, evaluating, and implementing the Cope Notes solution.

The Founder
"Innovation is not valuable to society until decision-makers can adopt it. This process is not glamorous — but it is vital."
West McKee
Founder, Connect — Austin, Texas

For the first 20+ years of his career, West ran 46 political campaigns, from Governor to City Council. Those campaigns gave him a national network, including governors, universities, corporate CEOs, and others who trusted West to solve their biggest problems.

West created Connect to turn the status quo on its head and deliver outcomes to a wider network of decision-makers through his innovation adoption process.
