Implementing Change

After planning, clients often ask us to stick around and support internal and external communications and strategy implementation. At SWIM we truly get to know the ins and outs of our client's work. We leverage this knowledge to serve as a thought partner, independent expert, and skillful communicator to ensure plans and intentions become reality.

We all wear a lot of hats in Food Banking. To design, implement and engage agencies around neighbor centered practice work can be challenging, especially when it comes to having the time to create materials, agendas and analyze data. SWIM’s support in making sure I had all the tools I needed to simply “press play” and begin agency engagement was paramount.
