Economic Development
New England is at a crossroads, especially our rural communities. A number of our traditional anchor industries are under great pressure from a rapidly changing global economy, the emergence of new technologies, an outmigration of our youth population and now from the expanding impacts of climate change. That said, there are also emerging opportunities that we need to understand.
Charting a new course requires a community, or a region understand what makes it unique - your value proposition.
Creating new businesses in economically distressed communities requires an understanding of that value proposition, your unique assets, but also what may be your unique challenges.
At Harraseeket Consulting, we are experienced at understanding these issues and developing practical strategies that will have the impact you’re looking for.
Strategic Planning - Communities
To successfully re-imagine a new future for your community you need to have a plan that serves as a rallying point for all the stakeholders - a roadmap.
Harraseeket Consulting’s commitment is to providing a thoughtful, well-vetted plan, then providing the follow-through to help bring the plan to life.
Strategic Planning - Non-profits
Many non-profits have a deep connection to a mission, but miss the critical step of mapping out a pathway to successfully engaging their community, their board or their donor base in how to effectively activate that mission. Understanding what problem you want to solve is an important step, but too many non-profit fail to thoroughly address the how.
HCG can help you create a comprehensive and integrated approach to identifying your value proposition - why someone would want to give their time or money to your efforts, a message that effectively communicates your value proposition and then how to engage donors to address your mission with impact.
leadership development
Anything is possible with inspired, values-driven, strategically aligned leadership.
HCG has over 45 years of experience coaching for-profit and non-profit leadership to understand how to develop a mission, set goals and marshal an organization to meet those goals.
At some point in every organization’s history every organization will face an existential threat. Those with the culture and leadership to meet those challenges - to adjust and relentlessly move forward - will survive. At Harraseeket Consulting, we have faced many of those existential threats and can help your organization develop a culture of resilience to not only survive, but thrive.
fundraising
Having a plan and values-based leadership to execute that plan are key to any success, but it also takes capital. In the non-profit world that means experienced development support.
We has raised over $100M for non-profits in the economic development and the Olympicathlete development and we can help you achieve your goals as well.
