"strong, visionary"

“Working with the DeVos Institute has been a great gift and blessing to the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. The team led by Michael Kaiser and Brett Egan has the type of wisdom that doesn’t simply come from theory but has been refined by extensive practice. We selected them to lead our strategic planning process and provide technical assistance for its first year of implementation. The outcome is a strong, visionary plan with increased staff and board capacity to implement. It's rare when a plan can successfully do both."

Joan Reilly, Consulting Client — Chief Operating Officer, City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"completely transformed"

“As our organization entered a period of great transition the DeVos Institute provided essential guidance and support. Together we developed a plan that led to the completion of our capital campaign and years of record growth for our organization. By implementing the philosophy of The Cycle throughout our organization, we’ve been able to bolster our capacity by nearly tripling our operating budget in just four years. Working with the DeVos Institute has completely transformed the history of our organization, and we feel more confident than ever about our future."

Andy Smith, Consulting Client — President, Nickelodeon Theatre — Columbia, South Carolina
