What we do

Public Good Consulting LLC (The Public Good) provides strategic planning and evaluation through a human-centered and data-informed approach. We provide clients with practical insights and tools that support their goals and financial health. 

Our strategies unlock valuable data, location intelligence and community insights that respond to funders’ goals and stakeholders’ needs to support innovative ideas achieving social impact.

In addition to consulting, we conduct independent non-partisan research that helps shed light on topics that impact the public and the least privileged voices in our communities.

Value at every stage

 

Starting from scratch?

Creating new programs or expanding capacity requires creative thinking and conversations with key stakeholders. We work with clients to develop a tailored project plan focused on answering the most important questions and moving forward strategically.

We facilitate strategy sessions to identify goals, explore ideas and generate engagement leads while cultivating relationships among key stakeholders.

Need to validate options?

Making change and determining what options to support requires deliberation supported by rigorous research and data analysis.

The Public Good uses a variety of analytical techniques to effectively address a client’s questions and provide the most useful insights for making decisions and moving forward. Some of the techniques we use include applied policy research, feasibility studies, asset inventories and pricing models.

Ready to implement?

The Public Good works with clients to move forward in implementation. We can help with executing tasks and crafting plans for monitoring and evaluating outcomes as well as designing strategies for continuous feedback and improvement.

Data is handed over to clients and technical training may be provided, if necessary.

Our goal is to harness the value of data and transfer it to our clients.
