Services

Mataraza Consulting’s mission focuses on four key areas of service,
customized to align with each organization’s needs

Strategy • Management • Research & Assessment • Conference Presentations & Facilitation

 

Strategic Priorities


Applying Momentum to Mission…

Effective, swift change begins with action — but requires a well-laid path. Through carefully examining forces both internally and externally, Mataraza Consulting generates the clearest roadmap, then lays the necessary groundwork, for action that will lead to accomplishment, thereby applying Momentum to an organization’s Mission.

Since 2001, Mataraza and her team have consulted with more than 100 organizations across the United States, the majority of them for planning. This involves close consultation with clients to carefully identify their strategic priorities.

Research & Assessment


Infusing facts with function…

A living organization observes itself from all sides. Research—both internally within an organization and externally within the community—is key to discovering public perception about organizational relevance and value. This knowledge is essential for maintaining organizational viability.

Mataraza Consulting uses market research and assessment to inform an organization’s future priorities, putting that data to work in a purposeful way and converting knowledge to action.

  • Inventories
  • Surveys
  • Focus groups
  • Geo-Demography
  • Asset Mapping
“If you are fortunate enough to be able to engage Diane in your project, you have gained a friend with the experience and knowledge you need to guarantee success.”
– MARY ANNE WINKELMAN, Former Executive Director of Cultural Alliance of New York County
