3 OUR APPROACH INTEGRATED AND COLLABORATIVE We re known for moving beyond traditional approaches to community strategies. We design innovative, practical and sustainable solutions that deliver value and impact. We partner with our clients and take a constituency and communitycentered approach to design meaningful, results-oriented community strategies and initiatives. Our approach emphasizes intentionality, collaboration, and co-creativity from the outset. Leveraging our expertise, our market tested process is designed to define an organization s value proposition and unique purpose. We undertake deep research inside and outside of the organization to uncover stakeholder motivations and discover community opportunities. Based on our findings, we design innovative breakthrough ideas to ensure community strategies are infused with purpose and clear performance measures. We then help you foster deeper partnerships, and more meaningful people engagement, to deliver greater organizational value and social impact. We believe that with the careful integration of purpose, performance, partners and people, great things happen. Value is created; deep connections between people, sectors, and communities are created; organizations become differentiated; and positive social results are achieved.

7 WHAT WE DO GROUND-BREAKING TRAINING To deepen support for professionals working in community we offer two unique training opportunities: Partnership Training and Creating Shared Value courses in either standardized or customized format. Partnership Training As society s problems and challenges become more complex and interconnected, it becomes clear that multi-stakeholder partnerships are the only way forward.

JS Daw & Associates believes it is critical to build understanding and capacity around partnerships.

Brokering Partnerships (4 Days) Run in collaboration with the Partnership Brokers Association, this is the only professional training currently available worldwide for those operating as intermediaries in the partnering process. This globally recognized course is offered by JS Daw & Associates on an annual basis. Creating Shared Value Understanding Creating Shared Value (1/2 1 Day) This overview course introduces the principles and practices of creating shared value and builds an understanding of this new and innovative approach to corporate-community engagement.
