The School Turnaround Field Guide
At FSG, we are passionate about finding better ways to solve social problems. Originally established in 2000 as Foundation Strategy Group, today FSG works across all sectors by partnering with foundations, corporations, school systems, nonprofits, and governments in every region of the globe. Our goal is to help organizations — individually and collectively — create greater social impact.
Our approach is founded on the beliefs that
- Social sector organizations can play a catalytic role, using evidence-based strategies and strategic evaluation to solve social problems;
- Corporations can create shared value by using their core capabilities in ways that contribute to both social progress and economic success;
- Better alignment within the social sector can lead to collective impact beyond that which individual organizations alone could achieve.
Our team brings the right combination of on-the-ground experience and world-class expertise in strategy development to tackle the world’s most challenging problems in three ways:
-
Creating fresh ideas and practical tools that boost the success of change makers in all sectors.
-
Consulting with clients to build strategies and practices that lead to powerful results in the areas they care about most.
-
Connecting peers and communities to each other and to proven practices, so each gains from the knowledge of all.
