Case Studies
Creating & Implementing a Strategic Plan
A public-private partnership focused on workforce development came to Freedman Consulting, LLC, to design a strategy to help achieve its goals. The new initiative had a mission, but required an organizational plan that could facilitate growth and help position the effort as an issue-leader in its area. Freedman Consulting, LLC, was then brought on by the public-private partnership to offer ongoing communications and strategic consulting in order to help implement pieces of the strategic plan the firm developed.
Landscaping a Complex Issue Area
A group of three foundations heavily invested in a complex issue area wanted to know whether their efforts were succeeding, how they could be more effective and where the issue was headed. Freedman Consulting, LLC, spoke to dozens of stakeholders, including grantees and policymakers, in order to develop a detailed landscape of the issue. The landscape helped define key choices and opportunities over the near-term, suggested where grantees were already effective and provided actionable suggestions for improvement.
Managing an Innovative Event
A major foundation and a prestigious university wanted to explore the concept of how values impacted public policy decisions in a high-profile event with influential and recognized participants. Freedman Consulting, LLC, was brought in to oversee all aspects of the event. The firm secured a prominent host and worked with the partners to suggest event topics and a unique approach to the discussion. Freedman Consulting, LLC, then worked with partners and leveraged relationships to obtain a panel of notable public and private sector leaders and national coverage on a major television network’s website.
Working with a Unique Technology Start-Up
A philanthropically-supported non-profit wanted to develop and market an innovative technology solution. Freedman Consulting, LLC, worked with the organization’s leaders to develop long-term strategy, day-to-day communications advice and create a marketing approach that would facilitate long-term success. The non-profit was unique in its field, and it relied on Freedman Consulting, LLC, to combine expertise of policy, communications and strategy to develop a tailored approach.
