What We've Done
and Who We've Done It For
Our clients in business,
government and non-profit organizations reinforce our desire
to be a learning organization, always in tune with their
needs.
Want to develop an environmental
management system? Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort asked us to
build one for them.
Need to shake the money tree? The
Oregon University System turns to our firm to help it win
federal research grants.
Building community consensus? Oregon
Solutions asks us to help them guide and direct community
action.
Need a marketing plan? So did Rural
Development Initiatives, so we worked with their staff to
create a plan that they can execute themselves, with a very
small budget.
We're proud of what we accomplish
for our clients. Here's a scan of some of that work from the last
