The Sage Strategy

Does your organization work with local government? Or does your government department need to interact with the private sector? While public-private interactions are integral to serving customers and communities, they often don’t speak the same language. Sageland can foster these connections and bridge the gap.  Services include:

  • Developing strategies and plans for public-private interactions
  • Direct contracting for companies to lead interactions with local government on projects.
  • Project management and facilitation for developers, engineers, and architects
Strategic Planning
We all have a vision for the future and goals to fulfill, but too often we do not know the route by which we can get there. Whether this is for small business or large organizations, strategic planning can identify your vision for the future, and can break down the pathway for success to make this seemingly daunting journey easy for you and your team. Using a proven step-by-step approach, Sageland enables you to create a future of your own making by fostering buy-in from your team while building champions for implementation.
Career Coaching & Leadership
Specializing in public sector staffing, Sageland can help develop leaders within your organization, or the leader within yourself. The process works with helping establish your emotional intelligence, then identifying areas for habit development for improvement. Career coaching can be short or long term, focusing on a customized plan with support and milestone meetings along the way.  
Organizational Assessment
With changing expectations, both from leadership and your customer base, having a team that runs efficiently is integral to the success of your department. Sageland provides organizational assessments where we review all functional areas of your team, dive deep into what is working, not working, missing, and confusing, in order to provide insight on more effective ways to manage the mission and the workload, as well as cultivate team dynamics and a fun culture.
