ESC Engagement: Strategic Planning
“Executive Service Corps provided the perfect match in consultants for our strategic planning work. It assembled a team with diverse backgrounds and varied expertise to efficiently and effectively conduct a bench-marking survey to support our organization’s strategic plan development. The survey directly contributed to the successful completion of our strategic plan – allowing us to set the stage for the next phase of the organization based on data gathered from across our industry. ESC truly delivers on its mission to make nonprofits successful.”
- Jennifer Van Valkenburg, President & CEO, Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance

“Just WOW! We received support that we could never afford on our own. The talent on the ESC team just blew me away.

Deborah's Place
ESC Engagements: Human Resources, Executive Coaching
“Deborah’s Place has benefited from the services and programs of ESC for over 20 years. We have worked with ESC consultants on strategic planning, financial analysis, executive and team coaching and, most recently, succession and staff development planning. With our ESC consultants, we developed tools such as a succession planning model and matrix, individual development plans, and recommendations. We deeply appreciated the work of our consultants, Jeanne and John, who listened to us and built their work around our articulated culture and needs. They were engaging, respectful, collegial and flexible. We will look forward to future projects with ESC. They are a vital and accessible resource for nonprofits in Chicago.”
