What we do

Our advisors apply insights gathered from patterns in data and human behavior to develop holistic strategy.

Analysis

Data collection, data analysis, and predictive analytics are the foundation for system improvement and goal-setting. We evaluate your customer experience and both numerical and categorical data sources to inform forecasting and improve efficiency.

  • Qualitative analysis: Organize, process, and analyze data to create actionable insights about customers and donors from interviews, focus groups, surveys, emails, customer feedback, customer service tickets, observation notes, and phone calls.

People

Data analysis and brand strategy don't round out an organization's goals or needs. Engaging and activating the people—customers, customer service, salespeople, account managers, leadership—earns buy-in and greater success. Our relationships with our clients go beyond deliverables, humanizing our work and making it accessible to all.

  • Staff training: We provide instruction and guidance at whatever level necessary to engage the teams with whom we work. Be it video tutorials, weekly project management check-ins, or a knowledgebase, we provide the level of support our clients need.
  • Leadership mentoring: We’re not territorial about our knowledge. We have built longstanding, agile mentorships to help managers and team leaders gain the skills they want to better understand the systems and processes we recommend and build. 
  • Project management: We’re on hand to act as team leaders to facilitate new SOPs or system implementations.
  • Sales strategy: We guide teams on pitches and proposals, lead nurturing, scripts, and any other form of outward-facing client relations that support brand and analytical insights.
