Our Work
Our strategic business planning
has helped make 2-1-1, the FCC-designated dialing code to access
information and referral services, a reality:
- developing the business plan for the National
2-1-1 Initiative for United Way of America and the Alliance of
Information and Referral Systems;
- developing business plans for the states of
Florida, Washington, Oregon and Texas.
Our strategic counsel has helped
organizations clarify their missions, set program priorities, and move
toward becoming more “volunteer-friendly”:
- working with the board of directors and staff
of the International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent Societies to
focus on the effective engagement of volunteers throughout their world
wide system;
- designing and leading a highly participatory
stakeholder-based process for Programa Voluntarios (The National
Volunteer Program of Brazil) to develop a new institutional profile as
they made the transition from being quasi-governmental to becoming an
NGO.
Our knowledge development
resulted in publication of “The Essential Attributes of a Community
Impact United Way” for United Way of America, the online “2-1-1
Planning Toolkit” for the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems,
and a chapter on the role of volunteering in corporate human resource
development in “The Learning Curve” published by the Prince of Wales
International Business Leaders Forum.
Our professional development
programs have touched leaders in business, nonprofits, and government
in Australia, Brazil, England, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, and
Venezuela.
Our project management has
brought Japanese college students to Washington DC for a month-long
internship with work placements in nonprofit organizations and home
stays; provided a three-day learning experience for social workers,
social work educators, and students at Chaoyang University of
Technology in Taichung, Taiwan; developed a videotape on International
Youth Service Day with contributors from throughout the world; and,
provided speakers from five countries for the World Youth Volunteer
Symposium in Tokyo.
