Plans get approved. Delivery is the hard part.
Hello, I'm Nader.
I help public initiatives deliver, for everyone they are meant to serve.
I do this by building with you. I also offer training and coaching, learning and evaluation, and speaking.
Core offer
Build With You
Hands-on work on your initiative and with your team. We build the roadmap, tracking, and engagement plan together, and your staff learn by doing.
Training and Coaching
Bring a real initiative and the people responsible for it. Leave with a team that can scope it, run it, and show it worked. A team that delivers with less friction, and more alignment.
Learning and Evaluation
Measurement does not have to be complicated or resource intensive. We scope it to the project's needs, see what is working, show it to the people who will ask, and use the lessons next time.
Speaking
Keynotes and conference sessions on delivering public initiatives, using data and AI from engagement through implementation, and measuring what matters. From twenty years in government, nonprofits, industry, and startups.
Why initiatives that everyone agreed on still don't deliver.
The plan was fine. The money was approved. Then it slowed down somewhere between the announcement and the neighborhood.
After twenty years of running, funding, and evaluating public work, I keep finding the same four things underneath. Each one is a question you can ask today, of any initiative you are responsible for.
