The Client view
"Advisor", "Consultant", "Set of outside Eyes", "Confidant", "Connector to Great Network of Resource People"
"The Common Good Ventures consultants have played an instrumental role in helping SMAA's Board and program management staff to ground our new strategic plan on a solid analytical foundation. They provided expertise, tools, and processes to identify, and to focus our planning efforts on, those services offered through the Agency that had the greatest relevance to our revised mission and held the best potential for sustainable expansion. For example, in our Meals on Wheels program, we are adopting a new approach to delivering meals (cold vs. hot), that will increase the quality of the meals received by seniors, save SMAA more than $90,000 in annual operating costs, and position the Meals program to serve a broader market of senior and younger disabled clients on a fee for service basis."
- Larry Gross, Executive Director of Southern Maine Area Agency on Aging
"...thank you for the many years of professional help you have provided to Eastern Area Agency on Aging. Not only have we benefited in planned and predictable ways; we have also improved less obvious problem areas of our agency. I don't think that we would be in as strong a financial and human resource position as we are right now had we not had the advantage of all the time spent with staff. Common Good Ventures truly helped us increase our capacity in the short and long term."
- Noelle Merrill, ED, Eastern Area Agency on Aging
