Our board really appreciated engaging with FSG to perform a comprehensive strategic planning project. The team was knowledgeable, creative, and responsive. We came away with strong, actionable recommendations, and felt like it was a great investment of our limited funds.Susan Dawson, Executive Director, E3 Alliance
FSG let us be very involved all along the way and they were open to our feedback. That collaboration made us feel very confident that we would not end up with an evaluation that in some way could be misread. They were very collaborative, very responsible, and very responsive.Lisa Goldschmidt, Director, Digital
