Consulting
Let us help you succeed. As a nascent field, corporate-community involvement has no script. As an unproven field, it has high stakes. This can be a frightening combination. We help corporate representatives generate well-received community involvement programs that make meaningful contributions to the social sector and support business success. We have helped Aetna, Allstate, Bank of America, Levi Strauss & Company and others through:
- Program assessment, feedback and advice
- Strategy design
- Program development
- Measurement
