"After years of rapid growth and increasing fundraising results, our department felt like a snowball rolling downhill. We were gaining momentum and adding mass, but where were we headed?
The strategic observations do good Consulting distilled in its final report to us have helped usto stop reacting to every new idea that comes along and to begin the process of focusing on our core competencies and strengths. Individual members of the team are more focused on our personal work plans bringing the focus of our daily work back to the strategic goals of the department and the overall agency strategic plan.
When I began talking with do good about analyzing the work of our public relations, marketing and fundraising department, my goal was to find a way to take a stressed, strong, vital department and create a more balanced, productive work environment to allow for sustained growth. After completing the process with do good Consulting, we are well on our way to achieving that goal."

“My staff isn't working very well together as team – we all just seem to be doing our separate things. This doesn't seem very efficient.”
“I feel like we're throwing a bunch of money in a lot of directions, but not really getting any ‘bang for our buck'. It's time to rethink our spending and our project focus.”
“The budget has never been tighter and the board is asking me to look at staff cuts. Isn't there another way?”
