Insight to Action (I2A)
INSIGHT to ACTION (I2A) is a 3-day seminar which brings companies and NGOs together in a dynamic process designed to build understanding, stimulate dialogue and initiate partnerships.

Global and Community Leadership Identification and Stakeholder Mapping
Many times a corporation needs specific advice on a key social aspect of their business or community strategy.

Pact?s assistance in stakeholder mapping and issues analysis has helped some companies manage the risk of new corporate ventures.

NGO Assessment & Capacity Building
Pact has a long history of working with NGOs across the world to build their capacity in everything from financial management to organizational development. As a result, Pact has deep knowledge of the approaches and practices that make NGOs work effectively, and common areas where NGOs commonly face challenges. Pact can work with an organization to perform an NGO organizational capacity assessment. Once the strengths and weakness of an organization have been identified, Pact can then design training modules to meet the specific needs of that organization. Business may engage Pact for these services in connection with NGO partners or grant recipients that are under consideration or that might be scaling up activities.
