What is Cleveland Wise?
After almost four years in the strategic planning space with numerous non-profits, we are launching a new initiative called “ClevelandWise” based on gathering the highest quality wisdom the Cleveland and surrounding business community has to offer provided to your inbox monthly via subscription.We realized that the vibe of intentional empowerment exposes us to the space of infinite possibilities, curiosities and wisdom, where supporting one another is the most organic thing we can do!The goal is to provide access to Foundation leaders and marketing and development professionals, as well as strategically savvy business leaders, that can guide you through best practices and their most impactful implementations for your mission. This subscription-based model would offer you access to vital wisdom that can propel your mission forward without extensive time away from your daily organizational practices. The intention is to offer you this information through regular webinars, TED Talk-style presentations, occasional in-person meetings with business professionals and guidance on implementing these practices.
COFFEE ANYONE? EVERYONE?
At cask we were (almost) overwhelmed by the number of you who responded to our invite for coffee last year. As a result we have gotten to know some of the wonderful people having the most impact in the areas of addiction and recovery, community development and the arts locally here in North East Ohio.
We are still seeking partners particularly in the areas of STEM and sustainability to be part of our cask community in 2020. So the invite still stands!
Ongoing Projects and Plans
If you feel a little in the dark about what’s going on at cask that’s ok. We are spending 2019 focused on corporate engagements and building a network of non-profit partners but we promise we are not ignoring you.
a vintage year!
While cask readies ourselves for the future we very much still want to hear from you. Our focus during 2019 was two fold. Most days we were focused on delivering strategic value, growth and team development to our corporate partners. As for the rest of the time, that’s when the real fun started. We built upon our network of non-profit partners through our pro-bono workshops to better understand each groups needs and identify synergies and fit prior to rolling out our new non-profit program in the new year.
But don’t let our timeline stop you from connecting. Need strategy sooner? Want to discuss how you can become a charter member of the program either as a business, non-profit or foundation? Just want to buy us a coffee and ask “what’s happening at cask? We’re here…
As an example of the corporate side of our business cask are currently responsible for advising a fortune 500 business in the print & packaging industry on how to bring their 5 year strategic plan to life at a local level
In parallel cask are engaging with local non-profit organizations to create an alliance of like minded businesses and community organizations aimed at developing mutually beneficial relationships and intiatives.
