TGG can build tailored internal assessment (staff) and/or external assessment (client/stakeholder/community/etc.) to understand where your largest opportunities lie. 

An initial assessment will be done via electronic survey as well as through focus groups to include staff and clients/stakeholders/community and will be used to gather information on the organization’s current culture.

The assessment will be developed in conjunction with leadership to ensure appropriate and relevant information-gathering.
