“Daniel and Max are smart, engaging, and very easy to work with. They took changes in their strides and were very flexible. Not only were they great at the listening portion during the various stakeholder interviews, but I also felt listened to as the client and I felt they were continuously checking in to ensure that the plan and end product met our needs. Daniel has been the Executive Director of a small-to-mid sized non-profit himself and Max has worked at several, so they know what a strategic plan needs to be in order to be effective.”
