Word composite

Recently, CitySquare enjoyed working with INSPIRE on a strategic thinking exercise.  The entire process was provided on a probono basis.  We will begin working on action steps in the very near future to activate our new learning about how to better do our work in the city.

During the process, the INSPIRE team interviewed many of our team members and customers to gain insights into our organization.  One of the more fascinating outcomes of this impression tour was a "word composite" of the impressions people reported about CitySquare.

The first image below maps the responses to the prompt, "What are 3 words that best describe CitySquare?"

The second image maps answers to the question, "What are 3 words that best describe your specific program?"

Partnerships remain essential

Recently, Bank of America featured CitySquare in a national advertising campaign spotlighting a number of their community partnerships.

I've had a few folks tell me they saw us on the Dallas Cowboys' game last week!

You can take a look at the video stream here!  Tells a good story.

Reactions are always welcome.
