QuinnProQuo Strategies + Communication

At QuinnProQuo our Good Idea comes from the realization that a good idea, by itself, isn’t enough. It’s irreplaceable, but to bring it to reality requires the ability to engage and marshal the necessary resources and a successfully executed, realistic plan of action. After all, an idea without execution is just a daydream, and execution without a plan is chaos.

With that in mind we offer a variety of services designed to help you develop new ways to approach your business, build and inspire your “Dream Team” and efficiently make it happen, all with a special emphasis on the beneficial synergies realized when partnering the For-Profit and Not-For-Profit worlds.

To enable our clients to achieve their goals, QPQ follows a three step approach:

  • Conceive – Strategic Planning designed to support both For-Profit and Not-For-Profit Organizations and Foundations
  • Connect – Relationship Assessment, Development and Management
  • Create – Organization, Coordination and Execution
