At Entuitive, we try to see the opportunity presented in every challenge, and always strive to be better tomorrow than we were today. And boy, did 2020 present its share of challenges.
As we look back on the year (and while we’ve never been more relieved to see a year end), we see a lot to be grateful for. This year presented so many opportunities to collaborate in new and greater ways, to innovate and think outside of the box, to help some of our most vulnerable populations, and to, above all, demonstrate resilience.
When we looked at what resonated with you most this year, we saw those themes shine through.
As we head into a different sort of holiday break than most of us are used to, we figured we’d provide you with a list of some of the best content we saw to help keep you company.
So, until next year, be safe, be warm, be grateful and…happy reading!

The Best of 2020
The pandemic dominated our most-read content. From our approach to handling the pandemic to our thoughts on how to tackle some of the biggest challenges it presented, it’s clear that this was “the topic” of 2020, and who would have expected otherwise? Perhaps what’s most notable are the progressive solutions that seemed to resonate most, from transit-oriented development, to sustainable solutions like timber, to modular approaches to building more affordable housing, to more collaborative models of project delivery like P3, the future looks full of opportunities to build a better world, together.

(A Very-Strange-Year in Review)
What was liked the most on LinkedIn this year gets to the heart of who we are and what we do. Entuitive is a people-first organization and our people stories shine through loud and clear, as do our projects, especially the sustainable ones that drive our purpose of building a better world.
Beautiful projects, inspiring leaders, and flashbacks to years long past, what's not to like? With Instagram, we're proud of the diversity we're able to show and we're glad you like that diversity, too. A big highlight for us this year was the topping off ceremony at 550 Washington - over 30 Entuitive people from across several offices worked on the project and we're so inspired by their dedication and collaboration.
