Culture Shift Consulting provides the strategy, guidance, and experience to establish connections, strengthen relationships, and build community partnerships.
Through a participatory framework based on facilitated activities, shared spaces, and inclusive communication, Culture Shift Consulting empowers you, your organization, and community members.
Community-Centric Evaluation
Strategies and programs are much better equipped to meet community needs and advance equitable outcomes when they are informed by community input. We use frameworks such as Creative Evaluation & Engagement (CE&E) and Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) to invite community members to share meaningful input on complex topics in ways that are relevant, accessible, and effective. These insights can inform community engagement strategies, strategic plans, communications approaches, and more.
Community Advisory Groups
We convene and lead advisory groups made up of community members with lived experience and expertise relevant to your project. Through relationship mapping and personal outreach, we recruit the right members to accomplish your goals, and guide them through conversations and activities that generate actionable recommendations.
Facilitation
We believe that how we come together to do our work is as important as the outcomes. Our facilitation practices center equity, inclusion, creativity, and belonging. We will collaborate with you to design focus groups, workshops, or retreats that build towards your goal while strengthening relationships and catering to a variety of work and communication styles.
