Board training on KPIs

Boards are asked to oversee results they often have no clear way to measure. We give them the tools to do it.

• Choose the few key performance indicators that reflect mission, finances, and strategy
• Read dashboards and reports with confidence
• Ask management the right questions and hold teams accountable to the answers

Start with your goals

A facility succeeds when it serves the enterprise and the community around it. We begin by understanding both.

• Clarify what the project must achieve, and for whom
• Align leadership, boards, council, and community on priorities, budget, and schedule
• Turn those goals into a project brief to which partners can respond

Build the RFP. Find the right partners.

Strong proposals come from a clear brief and a fair process. We design both.

• Architect design competitions, RFQs, and RFPs
• Owner's representative selection, with proposals compared on equal terms
• Published criteria and written disclosure of any relationship with a responding firm
• No design or construction fees, so our advice stays on your goals
