Competition
Who is your organization’s biggest competitor?
Working Differently
WHAT you do does not differentiate you.
WHY you do the work creates meaning.
HOW you do the works adds value.
Story Time
Creating and sustaining great experiences is the key to success in a service-sector economy.
Tell us about your amazing client experiences.
It Starts with Culture
The WHAT should be a forgone conclusion, so focus on the WHY and HOW of your work.
Your people and your culture are the difference. Sales/proposals and marketing/fundraising begin with your people and the culture they create.
People buy/fund based on how they feel and what they believe. Give them something and someone to believe in.
