Testimonials
“I have been lucky enough to get to work with Kari on multiple projects. She brings just the right combination of analytical rigor and practical know-how to her work. Kari is smart, organized, and effective – making her an asset to any project.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Kari Parsons, of Parsons Consulting on several statewide early childhood needs assessments. Kari expertly oversaw the collection, analysis, and display of secondary data, consistently delivering high-quality and timely work. Her professionalism and collaborative approach made her an invaluable partner throughout each project. We would gladly partner with her again on similar initiatives.”
“Kari Parsons and the team at Parsons Consulting have been invaluable partners with San Bernardino County in improving the lives of our 2.2 million residents. For 15 years, Kari and her team have led the production of San Bernardino County’s annual Community Indicators Report, gathering and analyzing complex data and preparing superior narratives that show the county and our community partners where to focus our efforts as we strengthen our economy, meet the needs our most vulnerable residents, and build better communities.”
“Our team has worked closely with Parsons Consulting, Inc. for over 2 ½ years and we would highly recommend working with Kari as a partner. What started out as a partnership for evaluation of a large project, turned into support in creating a strategic plan and theory of change for the overall project and ongoing support in multiple ways. Kari is a supportive thought partner and pushed us to think outside the box to improve our overall project. Not only did we receive a final product of a high-quality project evaluation, we had a strong thought partner throughout the process and have been able to continue working with Kari to build on what has been implemented to ensure ongoing sustainability. We can’t say enough how much we would recommend Parsons Consulting to support any type of project implementation, evaluation, and/or support.”
“I highly recommend Parsons Consulting to anyone looking for a strong communicator who understands data, strategic thinking, and action planning. Because of Kari’s many years of experience with community indicators, she helps make data meaningful and quickly grasps community and organizational needs. She has helped our organization set direction and identify concrete goals and objectives for our strategic plan. This required assimilating a lot of information and the opinions and input of multiple players and streamlining our work into actionable next steps. Kari is passionate about improving outcomes for young children and families, and skilled at taking blue sky ideas, ferreting out the pros and cons, organizing expansive information, and turning the best ideas into realistic strategies and activities to improve our work.”
