The concept of an alliance is not particularly new. In fact, the word originated around 1297. However, as with most things in life, its how you use the concept that counts. Our objective was to form an alliance of people with a passion to do good, the skills and expertise to carry out that mission, and the ability to harness that desire to provide an invaluable service to our clients. Sapphire Alliance includes over 25 individuals that have impressive individual backgrounds, skills, expertise, and accomplishments. What makes this unique from other companies of a similar nature is how we employ these individuals into a client focused, solution oriented alliance. The company includes a "virtual company" concept. Sapphire Alliance is comprised of a virtual network of over 25 active industry experts at any given time. The network and responding organization can be flexible in applying resources depending on the client or project. In large projects, the network is expanded to incorporate additional subject area experts and overseen by a managing partner who is in daily communication with the client. This unique networking format allows Sapphire Alliance to expand or contract in order to meet the needs of each engagement while bringing focused resources to handle the workload. Clients find that by utilizing this creative organizational method, Sapphire Alliance is able to respond to their needs without charging for unnecessary overhead or inexperienced expertise that has little impact on their specific account. Sapphire Alliance is a network of experts who can be called together to provide the following services to funders: - Conduct a facilitated coaching process to assist client in determining focus, requirements, and direction.
- Create and manage an application process to increase success of funded programs.
- Work with funded programs to increase chances of their success throughout the life of the project.
"I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them... there's only us." Oprah Winfrey |
