Strategy

We offer a broad range of management consulting services, centred on strategic planning, organizational development, and policy and program evaluation. Our approach emphasizes the application of creative thinking, disciplined logic, and artful process management, working within the frameworks of contemporary public administration and enterprise management models.  
 
Our strategic planning work is characterized by the application of customized approaches to unique client issues, needs and circumstances, and the active engagement of clients and their partners and stakeholders in collaborative, consensus-building processes. 
 
Our organizational development work emphasizes the design of effective governance structures, the articulation of strategic visions and guiding principles, and the development of practical strategic and business plans for public, private and voluntary sector clients alike.
 
Our policy and program evaluation work focuses on practical and well-designed methodologies that meaningfully contribute to the evolution of public policy and continuous improvement in program design and delivery.
