Good Decisions
About Important Issues,
Made the Right Way :::
Civic Strategies is a consulting company that helps communities make important decisions.
Community organizations and local governments hire Civic Strategies when the stakes are high, the stakeholders are numerous, the obstacles are formidable, the answers aren't clear – or when all are at work. We design and manage decision-making processes that deliver effective solutions, using fair and open processes. The benefits to our clients: They get good decisions about important issues that are made the right way.
We do our work by bringing together three disciplines:
- Authoritative issue research that's delivered in plain language.
- Logical decision design and even-handed facilitation.
- Comprehensive community outreach and engagement.
We're more than consultants, though — we're writers, researchers and teachers on the subject of community decision making. The benefit to you: Your community will enjoy the latest, most innovative thinking about local issues and civic involvement.

We've published articles about decision making (in the New York Times and Governing magazine, among others), designed and produced seminars and workshops on leadership, and been quoted in the media about cities, regions and their leaders. (We've appeared in Time magazine and the Wall Street Journal and on National Public Radio.) We work with top community consultants around the world, and we're engaged in a long-term study of decision making in cities around the country, which you can learn about by clicking here.
In short, we know about the issues facing cities, regions and other localities, we’re innovators in public decision making, and we care deeply about communities. Why trust anyone else with your community’s most important decisions?
