| The Public Strategies Group
Architects of Results-based Government
The Public Strategies Group empowers public organizations to transform the way they work from the inside out. Since 1991, our firm has helped hundreds of courageous government leaders win the support of citizens by delivering excellent results at a reasonable price.
We are dedicated public servants with insight gained from long experience in the public sector. Whether it's supporting government executives in achieving their strategic vision or helping agencies overcome financial crisis, PSG offers the bold ideas, credibility and courage leaders need to overcome entrenched obstacles and proceed with confidence.
Our partners include some of the world's foremost experts in government redesign, drawn from every level and branch of government. Among the firm's principals is David Osborne, co-author of the influential books Reinventing Government, Banishing Bureaucracy, and The Price of Government. Through our writings, speeches and seminars, PSG's ideas have become the foundation of a movement to focus government on results and accountability to citizens.
Headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, PSG has offices in Essex, Massachusetts, Omaha, Nebraska, and Portland, Oregon.

Principles to guide transformation
In creating holistic solutions for our clients, we are guided by a set of connected strategies we call the Five Cs:
- Customers: Focus on the ultimate beneficiaries—the citizens
- Core: Be clear about your purpose at every step
- Consequences: Make performance matter
- Control: Put decision-making into the right hands
- Culture: Create a culture of continuous learning and innovation
THE RESULTS WE CREATE
A vision for change is one thing. Tangible results are another. Our firm's reputation is built not simply on the quality of our ideas, but in how we apply them to the real situations governments face. We succeed only when a client's goals are met in a measurable way.
Courageous leaders, from public executives to elected officials to citizen groups, hire us to take on their biggest challenges. We have advised a past U.S. President, the President of Russia, and countless other world, national, state and local leaders on six continents. Our successful partnerships have attracted major awards and have become a guide for others seeking organizational change.

THE PSG DIFFERENCE
By breaking with convention in our client engagements, PSG is reinventing the role of the public-sector consultant.
There is no formula for the change we help create. We apply all our talent and resources to understanding a client's unique situation. Then we work to uncover opportunities for improvement at every level. Our personalized approach yields a degree of involvement and accountability most consultants can't offer.
Our compensation is tied to performance, a principle we bring to our clients' projects and to our own. We expect payment for results if and only if our clients are satisfied with our work.
