Our approach
Listen, Align, Design, Implement, Measure
These five phases structure the work and connect to the task order and milestone schedule. Everything we do is tailored to the needs of the client.
- 01
Listen
We interview staff, leaders, and residents. We review existing plans, contracts, and reports before proposing new work.
- 02
Align
We document the scope, decision authority, timeline, budget, and process requirements, then obtain approval before design begins.
- 03
Design
We draft engagement plans, curricula, work plans, and materials for review. Public materials receive accessibility and reading-level checks.
- 04
Implement
We run meetings, deliver training, and manage the schedule. We report progress against agreed milestones.
- 05
Measure
We report participation, themes, and performance measures. A closeout memo records what worked and what did not.
Meeting materials, surveys, web content, summaries, and final reports are checked for ADA and Section 508 conformance and reviewed for reading level before public release.
