Client Outcomes

Orgs of all shapes and sizes seek out GCG when they don't have a strategic plan, are struggling with a lack of focus, or are hindered by team ineffectiveness. Here are some of their stories.

CIS Chatham County does important work. They surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Situated in a growing county poised to leverage an influx of funding from new corporate donors, CISCC had come out of a period of organizational flux ready for a new strategic plan. We started with a deep dive on the state of the organization. We gathered input from internal and external stakeholders and completed a SWOT - what’s working, what opportunities are in front of us? After charging the board with thinking 10 years down the road, we compiled a measurable, actionable strategic plan for the next 3 years. Staff feedback and buy-in on the plan meant board adoption was a partnership - those focused on execution are in agreement and alignment with the vision. CISCC uses GCG as an accountability partner, through a coaching check in every 6 months to celebrate wins, discuss challenges and brainstorm new approaches to roadblocks.

Hear from CISCC Executive Director, Tych Cowdin. “I’m singing your praises to anyone who will listen. Your unique approach got us further, faster, and with better staff and community buy-in. We’re celebrating this plan.”

The CISCC Board Chair, Mayme Boyd, was also pleased with the investment in their future. “I want you to know how impressed I am with your work.”
