We are currently under contract to manage 20 recreation and community facilities in Calgary, including arenas, aquatic facilities, indoor soccer, field house and artificial turf fields.
We specialize in creating transition strategies and operating models to match our client’s needs, effectively linking desired outcomes with the concepts of entrepreneurism and our client’s service mandate. We provide a comprehensive implementation plan regardless of the model our client requires.
Our planning process encourages the alignment of organizational and personal goals so there is a strong sense of both shared and personal ownership of the plan that is created. We help create strong effective teams by assisting staff to create their own leadership model. Our highly efficient process was developed over decades of hands-on experience in the planning and implementation of service delivery models to meet client needs.
