Charbel Segerie
Executive Director and Cofounder
The French Center for AI Safety (CeSIA)
“Working with Adam and the RAISEimpact team is always a boost of motivation and clarity. They quickly got to the most central and important bottlenecks of our organization, and surfaced mistakes that could have been critical. They supported us in getting through a funding crunch and helped us form our strategy for managing our team through that difficult situation. Their recommendations on HR and fundraising helped us with operational challenges and positioned ourselves to execute our Global Call for AI Red Lines campaign with greater impact. We highly recommend working with RAISEimpact.”
How we work
Assess
We talk with each leader and use a team health survey to understand how work gets done and where people are struggling. We also look at how decisions are made, including where people see the same situation differently. The survey gives us a baseline to return to later.
Design
We agree with you which problems to tackle first and what to try. For one organisation, this meant clarifying roles and delegation. For another, it meant planning a retreat around the strategic decisions the team needed to make.
Build
We work alongside your team for three to six months, helping put the changes we’ve agreed on into practice. In our regular meetings, we work through the decisions you’re facing and follow up on what you’ve committed to. We stay involved as you try things out and adjust the approach together.
Measure
We compare the team’s survey responses before and after the work, looking at each area separately. When we share results, we explain the limits of what they can tell us.

Managing Director
Talos Network
“Working with RAISEimpact gave us the space and structure to step back and think strategically about our long-term direction. They helped us clarify our vision and sharpen our theory of change, both through leadership workshops and in helping us design sessions at our team strategy retreat. This strategic thinking has helped us to refine our organisational direction for the coming years, and has been invaluable in major fundraising conversations. We'd highly recommend working with them.”
Results
Team satisfaction in eight months. That exceeded the predefined target by 140%.
The three largest gains map to the three things we targeted: feedback systems, management transition, accountability protocol. The areas we didn't target showed the smallest movement.

We think most AI safety organizations would benefit from this work. We also think most won't reach out until the pain is acute. If you're somewhere between curious and drowning — that's a fine place to start a conversation.
Open to AI safety organizations with 5+ paid staff. Fully funded — no cost to participants.
