Consulting

When roadblocks prevent progress, we find a way.

Our consulting services are available to anyone who believes in a community project and needs help navigating the landscape to make change happen.

We’re here because red tape, bureaucracy, and politicking can create seemingly unending challenges in getting projects done. Whether you’re starting out or at a standstill, City Thread provides a way forward.

We tailor our services to address your city’s situation, no matter where you are in the process. 

We provide support and guidance at every stage, from plan development to refinement and so much more, including moral support.

Our services include:

  • The Playbook

    • Provide a clear strategy to engage diverse coalitions, build momentum for project implementation, secure community buy-in, and counteract opposition.

  • Audience Research 

    • Evaluate community support for place-based projects and identify key messaging strategies to help leaders build trust and community buy-in for projects.

  • Fundraising

    • Identify and secure funding to support and accelerate project delivery. Our fundraising services simplify the process, particularly for organizations lacking resources or experience.

  • Strategic Planning

    • Develop clear, actionable roadmaps to success. Offerings include board meeting facilitation, long-term planning, executive coaching, and organizational benchmarking.

  • Study Tours (domestic and international)

    • Offer immersive learning experiences for public officials and community leaders to inspire collaboration and innovation.

Our partnership with City Thread is elevating the way the City of Bentonville does business. From advocacy, project guidance and funding assistance, City Thread provides real solutions to the challenges of building cycling infrastructure. Bentonville, and our cycling network, has certainly witnessed our share of success stories during the last decade. But our relationship with City Thread is putting us in position to complete high quality projects and provide amenities at a rate we never thought was possible.
