From new ventures to expansion projects, BEACON teams examine the feasibility of a major project or program.

BEACON teams estimate the economic, employment, fiscal and community impacts of all kinds of existing or planned organizations, ventures and initiatives in the private, public and nonprofit sectors.

Government agencies and advocacy organizations alike benefit from these policy impact assessments and return on investment calculations, for existing or proposed public policies and policy initiatives.

BEACON teams provide strategic planning (including demand forecasting and branding strategies) and scenario analysis assistance to public, private, and nonprofit organizations.

The most important question decision makers and funders ask project and program managers is “Is this project/program doing what it’s supposed to be doing?” This question is immediately followed by “How well?” and “How much is it costing?” BEACON’s proprietary “3-E Approach to Effectiveness, Efficiency and Evidence,” using robust sets of key performance indicators and detailed metrics, provides these decision makers and funders dynamic interactive dashboards to help them answer all of these questions. These dashboards also help them address a host of others questions and issues such as “What if?” scenarios and return of investment calculations.

BEACON’s Business Expansion and Retention Studies cover all aspects of decision making involved in creating, growing, and sustaining enterprises.
