Strategic Consulting
We help municipal officials and staff build stronger, more resilient communities through thoughtful planning and incremental development. With deep municipal experience, we offer targeted workshops and consulting services that simplify sustainable urban planning. Our approach is practical and action-oriented, using real-world examples to equip stakeholders with the tools to implement sustainable, fiscally responsible development strategies. Our mission is to empower communities to thrive through informed decision-making, resilience, and long-term fiscal health.
Education for Officials
Better decisions start with better understanding. Our interactive classes and training modules—delivered in-person or virtually—equip local leaders with the language, tools, and strategies of fiscal sustainability. We bridge the gap between policy, planning, and action, helping officials, staff, and community stakeholders implement real change faster. By breaking down complex fiscal realities and development trade-offs, we empower communities to make informed, lasting decisions that align growth with long-term resilience.
Strategic Planning
A vision without action is just an idea. We help communities set meaningful goals and craft planning and budgeting strategies that align with their adopted policies and long-term vision. Our process goes beyond check-the-box planning—we identify where your vision, policies, and budgets don’t yet align with community values and fiscal sustainability. By prioritizing locally led, incremental implementation, we ensure your strategy isn’t just aspirational, but actionable.
Staff Training
Empowered staff, better outcomes. We provide in-depth training for planning and development teams, covering not just legal and regulatory obligations, but the real-world impact of their decisions. Our approach goes beyond compliance—we help staff recognize how everyday regulatory choices can either advance or undermine a city’s vision. By bridging the gap between policy intent and practical implementation, we ensure your team is equipped to make informed, strategic decisions that drive the best possible outcomes for your community.
Presentations & Workshops
Big ideas spark real change. Whether you’re looking to introduce new planning concepts, inspire fresh thinking, or explore solutions tailored to your community, our keynotes, presentations, and workshops get the conversation started. We cover topics like Strong Towns, incremental development, and resource-conscious planning, always with a focus on practical implementation. With experience across planning, engineering, and economic development, our team connects big-picture thinking with real-world application—helping communities and organizations move from ideas to action.
