Many coordinated voices sing louder than one alone

We know that bringing together diverse stakeholders is an important catalyst for social change. In our work with clients, we find that communications is often a key "rallying point" for collaboration between groups. While this is good, we know that it can also be a difficult and time consuming process for clients to manage on their own. Because we are sensitive to the unique nature of relationship building, LGI often acts as an important facilitator around communications issues.

LGI has years of experience orchestrating formal and informal coalitions of stakeholder groups, different organizations, and cross-sector partners. The team’s experience in uniting groups behind a common goal, yet honoring their individuality, is a delicate balance of experience and sensitivity. We understand the unique dynamics between foundation and grantee, grantee and funders, and among grantees in a developing field. Once accomplished, however, the rewards are substantial: the power of one compelling message from multiple groups, sources, and angles cannot be denied.
