SWM Consulting Services Inc. works with you to develop relevant questions and come up with useful answers every step of the way.
We do this by filling three gaps common to small and large organizations alike.

Skills & Capacity Gap
Not all organizations have in-house staff with applied research, evaluation or facilitation skills; they require support to navigate challenging issues.
We bring expertise to your team and add a credible external perspective to your work.
Value-added: we bring a focus on capacity building so going forward your organization has the knowledge, skills and experiences to be a fully informed partner in the work.

Time Gap
Applied research, evaluation and facilitation are complex tasks that are not easily done off the ‘side of a desk’.
Experience and expertise streamline and focus the work.
This is where we come in with our dedicated team of skilled experts who can tailor the work to your unique project needs.

New Perspectives Gap
Challenging work benefits from multiple perspectives on the issues.
There is tremendous advantage in considering a new way of thinking or additional sources of evidence that were not previously considered.
We bring fresh perspectives, skilled process facilitation and expertise to strengthen your organization’s work.
