Our Clients

“Having AchieveMission lead us through our first major reorganization made the effort painless and yielded success. It is not something we could have done internally, but they engaged us in meaningful tasks, encouraged forthright discussions, and helped us make the compromises that benefitted all senior staff. We all felt we owned the results, but we couldn’t have arrived there on our own.”

–Saul Rockman, Founder and President, Rockman et al

“They’re not shy about suggesting an answer, they’re willing to share an insight or what they’ve seen. They keep the ball rolling, not letting us languish in indecision or not getting it done. A lot of expertise is being brought to bear. It’s easy to have confidence.”

–Lori Kaplan, President & CEO, Latin American Youth Center

“One thing that has contributed to a successful relationship with AchieveMission is that they stay in the work. They stay in relationship.”

–Conrad Pinnock, Former Senior Managing Director, Harlem Children’s Zone

“I learned that I must be focused on building a pipeline of talent —not just when we have a role to fill, but continuously.”

–Jane Golden, Founder and Executive Director, City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program

“As part of the Talent Initiative facilitation, we literally codified a whole year of our cycle of work.  [We] had never done that type of prospective annual planning. We were able to identify and discuss many internal obstacles. It was extremely cathartic!”

-Dr. Karen A. Stout, President and CEO, Achieving the Dream

“The [AchieveMission] discovery process highlighted some fundamental disconnects within [our organization]. We didn’t have strong alignment, at the staff or board levels, around what our new [strategic] plan meant for the organization. The conversations catalyzed the realization that we needed to tune the plan and better align our organizational structure if we were going to deliver on it.”

-Dr. Karen A. Stout, President and CEO, Achieving the Dream

“Although we had done some good foundational work in human capital management [before engaging with AchieveMission], we are now much more intentional and explicit. To some degree we’d been working in ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ mode. Or, fix it with the smallest investment of time. Now we will have systems in place to know when things are falling behind before they show signs of breaking. Don’t let ‘busy’ be a distraction. Your human capital management is the foundation for everything you do.”

-Cliff Majersik, Executive Director, IMT
