Our expertise delivers solutions to our clients in three areas:
We bring various analytical tools to bear on your organization’s programs and projects. We have experience in both qualitative and quantitative methods such as focus group facilitation, survey data, process and outcome evaluation, community assessments, movement and coalition building and general technical support to advocacy efforts. These tools help you demonstrate your continued accountability to your Board and your funders.
Work-plans and logic models are only as good as the organization’s realistic ability to implement them. We look closely at your organizations capacity, resources and timelines to help you design do-able work-plans and logic models. Ersoylu Consulting helps clients develop, document and manage advocacy strategies and guide coalition building efforts. Due to limited resources and funds, is important that non-profit organizations develop well-conceived and efficiently implemented projects. We work with clients to design, implement, and evaluate their short and long-term advocacy programs.

A clear grasp of a policy issue, a new strategic angle or provocative research findings can get issues noticed in a competitive and constantly changing policy environment. We conduct careful research to facilitate evidence-based policymaking. We use both quantitative and qualitative methods to produce timely, relevant data for organizations.
· How does the policymaking process work? Where can my organization participate in the process?
· My Board of Directors wants us to work on “policy” but won’t let me “advocate”. How can we do this?
· How can my organization effectively engage elected officials and their staff?
These are the questions we help organizations answer. We offer strategic advocacy coaching and workshops to organizations interested in policy work. Our fresh analytical perspective helps organizations assess public policy issues and strategize in order to exploit relevant political opportunities.
Ersoylu Consulting helps organizations influence community leaders and policymakers through the production of new policy concepts and research. We prefer to provide tailored services to each of our clients based on their resources, policy capacity and the political context in which they are working.
Although we do not provide organizations with “toolkits” and more cursory general trainings, we can refer you to organizations that can provide you with that. We view these products as good precursors to your work with us.
Strategic Planning, Organizational Analysis and Charrettes are all ways that local governments and agencies can ensure that they are best- using their limited resources in efficient and effective ways. We are able to provide these services on various scales.
· Does our new project dovetail well with our agency goals?
· How do we create a Youth Master Plan for our city?
· Do we have the right staff and resources to meet our desired outcomes?
· How do we ensure full community participation in our Charrettes?
In order to maintain relevance in a fast-paced, competitive environment it is important for the forward-thinking agency to evaluate and adjust its short and long-term strategic plans in a timely fashion. Ersoylu Consulting understands these pressures and provides insightful and expert guidance for the strategic plan development process. Dr. Ersoylu, as a former community advocate, understands the particular needs and demands of community participation. She is able to help public institutions best respond to these needs in a sophisticated and timely manner, ensuring maximum stakeholder participation in the process.
