Body of Work A Sampling of Consultations in Public, NonProfit and Corporate Settings

Technical Support for Comprehensive Community Initiative, East San Jose Mayfair Neighborhood

Hewlett Foundation, Palo Alto, CA

The Hewlett Foundation’s Comprehensive Community Initiative targeted one neighborhood in East San Jose with a $7M investment to revitalize the neighborhood. The effort established a neighborhood council to assess needs, aligned existing agencies around those needs and developed grass roots leadership. MGH CONSULTING provided technical support to facilitate sessions and build capacity among existing nonprofits. When the lead agency, left the project, MGH CONSULTING was asked to assume additional responsibilities to support the project’s overall success. This work included board development, strategic planning, and program design over a 2 year period.

Development of a Community Advisory Council

St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation, San Francisco CA

St. Luke’s Hospital and St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation retained MGH CONSULTING, LLC to support the development of a new community advisory council. The council was to be comprised of local residents, business owners, civic leaders and health advocates who would provide the Hospital with advice about improving community outreach efforts and feedback on patient relations among the unique populations that the Hospital serves. Working with both the Hospital executives and Foundation Board of Trustees, the firm facilitated several important internal processes to clarify the role of the council, establish its protocols and procedures, and then identify potential members. As a function of these efforts, MGH CONSULTING, LLC was also asked to review the Board of Trustees roles and responsibilities and to develop best practices that would improve board governance.

Strategic Planning and Community Relations During Bankruptcy

MCI, Ashburn VA

MCI, formerly MCI/WorldCom emerged from bankruptcy on April 24, 2004 after two years of internal reorganization and restructuring. As part of its new corporate strategy and philosophy, MCI placed a high priority on ethics in corporate governance. Part of this effort required that all of its officers and senior executives cultivate and develop in others a strong value for diversity among employees, customers and suppliers. In California alone the company worked to fulfill this directive as part of a unique agreement developed with the Greenlining Institute, a grass roots organization focused on fair treatment of underserved communities, ethnic groups and the disabled. MGH CONSULTING, LLC provided guidance to MCI’s Office of Business Ethics, Law and Public Policy Department, and Mass Markets on a coordinated plan to establish a National Minority Consumer Affairs Council. It also provided technical advice on the process of developing, coordinating, and evaluating an enterprise-wide process for creating diversity awareness programs aimed at supplier diversity, workforce diversity, and targeted philanthropy.

Global Lead has designed and facilitated a series of retreats for new employees joining Proctor and Gamble for the past 10 years.
