Look at a few of our projects and how we have made a difference.
- A major energy Utility engaged FulcrumOne to help develop a renewed strong trusting relationship between a large municipality and the Utility. The relationship between the two entities had begun to deteriorate around emergency work performed within the municipality. It was the Utilities desire to put the relationship back on track. FulcrumOne proposed a series of facilitated meetings with parties of both entities where views, concerns and differences could be openly explored. During this series of meetings, it became apparent that there were several nuances not originally anticipated that had caused the relationship to become stressed. FulcrumOne used a conciliation method of engagement and facilitation that involved building a positive relationship between the parties. This method allowed flexibility and limited process constraints to create a relationship that was solid and durable and benefited all parties. The conciliation process moved away from a âwinâloseâ process to a communication-Ââbased process that improved the relationship between the parties to prevent and minimize future conflicts
- A global engineering firm with over 25,000 employees, and public and private clients in more than 50 countries engaged FulcrumOne in a three-year project to support development of a refreshed business strategy that would help to deepen the relationships between their clients and the firmâs sales and project delivery teams. FulcrumOne conducted telephone interviews with former and prospective clients to identify best practices and opportunities for improvement and created a summary report and presented the findings to the firmâs Global Leadership Team. FulcrumOne researched the evolution of public-private partnership models for the delivery of government services, including consulting and vested outsourcing approaches and made recommendations for new service delivery model(s) (the ânext generationâ of partnerships) and supported the development and renewal of the firmâs business with local government clients by Identifying prospective clients and new business opportunities and served as advisor to proposal and interview teams to influence the movement of projects from concept through contract.
- FulcrumOne was engaged by a large commercial developer to explore the requirements to successfully entitle a proposed five story, 200,000+ gross square foot office building. Through research it was discovered it would require taking the proposed application through a new three step Planned Unit Development approval process that would include two Public Hearings before a Planning Commission and one Public Hearing before a Board of County Commissioners. The property was in an Airport Influence Area and adjacent to the airport Approach Zone. As an extension of the development team, FulcrumOne was tasked with providing strategic and tactical advice, advocacy, community engagement and support at all stages of the project and design a path to get to the ultimate goal. FulcrumOne created strategies for obtaining planning consent by delivering the right message, in the right way, at the right time, to identified internal staff champions and a created a political engagement strategy to engage, inform and advocate with the decision-makers both Board of County Commissioners and Planning & Zoning Commission members with key political issues of importance such as upcoming elections and potential candidates evaluated. Lastly, a community engagement strategy was implemented to initiate contact with identified community audiences with a focus on the adjacent Airport to gauge their issues and levels of concern and to educate and alleviate any concerns about the proposal.
- A 3,400-acre Master Planned Community with a desire to annex into a neighboring municipality engaged FulcrumOne to help in devising a planned approach to the benefits of the annexation and messaging to the municipality. After research and discussion with the elected officials of the community it was determined that there wasnât any political will for the annexation. What was to become a ten-year on-going engagement FulcrumOne was asked to take on an advisory and active participation role with the developers of the Master Plan Community in a number of areas including land development and entitlements, business operations. economic development, emergency management planning, marketing and special events, recreation and social amenities and community and government outreach. FulcrumOne was also tasked with developing relationships and potential partnerships that would be beneficial to the development with the state and local government representatives, the local Fire District, the School District, a local STEM school, the major energy utility, and water utility and the local Library District.
- Knowledge of the expansive network of relationships and connections possessed by FulcrumOne we were engaged by a large Mexico based mining company with a presence in Colorado which was undergoing several permitting and expansion processes in southern Colorado at one of their coal mine operations. The expansion included an Environmental Assessment that had raised the profile of the mine with the surrounding communities and galvanized local and national anti-mining activist. FulcrumOne brought to the table and partnered with a Colorado based firm with a national presence that had significant experience in the areas and issues to be faced and overcome. The partnership brought to bear the resources to place feet on the ground in the community giving us the ability to create a quality grassroot network. Together we created a strategic and execution plan integrating the mining companies permitting and legal strategies. This included strategic message development, grassroot network development and mobilization, a grass-top influence engagement both locally and nationally, opposition monitoring and counter measures including proactive public
