Wise Counsel to a world in Progress.

Sagamore Institute was founded in 2004 by Jay Hein with support of then-US Ambassador to Germany Dan Coats. With roots deeply planted in America’s heartland, Sagamore’s scholar-practitioners have always sought to deliver wise counsel to a world in progress. 

We engage in applied research—working alongside innovative practitioners, learning from them, and measuring the impact of ideas and theories put into practice.
