WELCOME

The primary focus of Mark Holmgren Consulting is to help non profit organizations and local governments build capacities for new visions. Mark does this through the provision of custom designed strategic services that fit your organization’s culture as well as its aspirations.

In March of 2012, Mark took the CEO post at Bissell Centre, a 102 year old human services agency in Edmonton's inner city that exists to eliminate poverty and homelessness. Taking on this responsibility has meant downsizing Mark's consulting practice to be focused on delivering a smaller range of services to select clients.

These services include: designing and delivering strategy retreats and a variety workshops or extended learning sessions to senior staff and boards of non profit organizations. as well as to major collaborations. On occasion, Mark will also provide strategic communications services.
