We provide consulting services from the early conceptual stages of a project through to project completion.
We work alongside you and your team to design or redesign how you deliver your services. We can offer advice or be a sounding board for ideas; gather evidence for decision-making, or lead an engagement process with your stakeholders. We have fulfilled engagements as short as 2 hours and as long as 2 years, and everything in between.
How do we do it?
We build our own team around your specific needs. Sometimes it's just one consultant. And when more expertise is needed, we assemble the right consulting team. We will engage you and your people as best possible to build internal capacity and foster sustainability.
Where do we work?
While much of our work has been in the health care sector, our management skills, knowledge, and methodologies have also served us well with our clients in both for-profit and not-for profit community organizations, international development agencies, small businesses, colleges and universities and professional associations.
Our work is informed by varied work and travel experiences across 30 countries. We believe it is important to gather insights and experiences from other systems and cultures and be open to new ways of doing things. Through this we have built a reputation for being innovative, versatile, and responsive to our clients needs.

Strategy is about choosing what not to do, as much as it is choosing what things to do. Strategy is your north star. It gives you answers to the questions, "What do we do"? and "Why do we exist?" We work with your team to help distill your organization's unique assets and talents, as well as areas for change and growth. Aligning these with opportunities in the broader operating environment while mitigating for potential threats, gives you the best chance for achieving your vision.
Strategy without a process is a wish.
For a strategy to be effective, it has to be put into action. Projects don't just happen. They need to be designed and managed to meet objectives and to integrate with other business processes and systems . Projects happen in an environment in which nothing is constant except change.

What gets measured gets produced.
Start with the end in mind. What exactly does it look like? What does it feel like? How will you know when you've arrived? We work with your team to help envision the endpoint and identify realistic and objective measures along the way to recognize when that future vision has been realized. We can also wo

We can also work with you to assess whether your program or organization continues to meet its stated goals and furnish recommendations to get back on track - or change direction.
