Clients
"At The Pomegranate Center, the first value we derived from CCP was
help in clarifying what our questions and issues really were. Then they helped us to
identify outcomes which CCP could assist with in a short time. They provided good
outside perspectives and insights, posed provocative questions to us, fed back summaries
and reflections of what our board and staff were thinking, and facilitated a number of
board/staff meetings so we could all actively participate. Their consultation with us
provided both immediate benefits and significant input for our continuing work."
