Sowen

Sowen undertook an analytics and consulting project for a philanthropic consulting firm. The firm's goal was to assist cities in improving the quality of life for their residents. Sowen's role was to help these cities understand and strategically use data, moving away from merely counting metrics to focusing on more qualitative KPIs. The team, led by Ori and Matt, initially worked on tourism but expanded into multiple areas, providing valuable consulting and strategy development. Their ability to simplify complex issues and theories was highly appreciated. The client praised Sowen's dedication, effort, and the added value they provided, and the partnership has been ongoing since March 2018.

In another project, Sowen was hired by FREEST, a nonprofit organization fighting human trafficking, to streamline their work, create metrics, refine their mission, vision, and purpose, and develop a funding strategy. The Sowen team was chosen for their high ratings, budget-friendly pricing, and alignment with FREEST's culture and values. They worked to refine the organization's mission, values, and purpose, helping to create a sustainable business model that could define and measure impact. The project, which lasted between 16-22 weeks, involved competitive analysis, brainstorming sessions, workshops, and bi-weekly virtual meetings.

Sowen also provided strategic consulting for the City of Houston mayor’s office. The goal was to uplift certain communities using a specific, equitable plan. Sowen structured, organized, and implemented a plan with timelines and stages, and guided the client on stakeholder engagement and data usage. They engaged the management and leadership team, ensuring buy-in for the process, and conducted workshops to ensure sustainability. The project, which was facilitated through Bloomberg Associates, lasted from January 2018 to November 2020. The client appreciated Sowen's structured approach and their ability to engage leadership and internal departments.
