Be it climate change or racial injustice, global pandemics or the rise of totalitarianism threatening democracies and nations, the unyielding grip of hunger and poverty on communities and regions, a combination of these factors, or other unnamed causes, today’s world challenges have reached an existential stage of urgency—and we all share a burning drive to address them. From philanthropy, humanitarianism, and industry, to civil society, academia, and government agencies, we are institutions made up of people, all heeding an urgent call to create systemic, sustainable, and equitable change.
(Start with a happy client quote)
There remains no doubt that the status quo approach has run out of time. Actions without insights and strategy often are shots in the dark, grandiose, energizing, but easily dissolved, unsustainable—at worst, passion without planning can end up detracting resources and momentum from the very change-agents and activators who are best positioned to drive essential impact. Conversely, insights and strategy without executable action plans risk becoming merely gilded reports that collect dust on a shelf. Neither pathway is acceptable.

The ROI of Working with Camber
Management consulting is profound work. Many companies, offices, and groups appreciate the efficiency and impact of engaging professional services to address pinpointed strategic needs, as opposed to taking a gamble on internal team-members who may not have the analytical, strategic, or business training to drive the best results. From this vantage point, engagements of this sort, with mid-to-high six-figure fee structures, are appreciably cost-effective investments.
Camber seeks to be an industry leader when it comes to inserting authentic equity into our work and influence. With this in mind, we recognize that the kind of systemic resourcing offered by consulting firms may elude some of the very partners who can most effectively leverage these services for good. We have two solutions to propose to potential partners in this category.
First, we strongly recommend potential partners with smaller consulting budgets consider querying their key funders around the possibility of technical support allocations for professional management consultancy services. These investments have remarkable strategic ROI, and we have examples of successes we have helped foster in these circumstances.
Additionally, in our drive to provide top-caliber services, we have a suite of “targeted problem-solving” deployments serving a growing client base. Starting at the mid-five figure range, these may be an accessible on-ramp for organizations who are newer to consulting and need their investments to reach targeted impact.
As individuals, families, and corporations grow ever more dedicated to blending philanthropy with authentic equity, we consider ourselves a highly desirable partner in these efforts, working with a bold and honest vision to connect capital and resources to community impact while avidly disrupting systems of racial and social inequity, “othering,” hidden biases, and other sources of systemic harm.
