"We retained Alisa's services to support the development and preparation of a complex application for funding that involved a partnered submission with a number of key elements still to be determined, compounded by a short time-line for completion. Despite these challenges Alisa was able to quickly focus our partnership on the work to be resolved and was able to weave together multiple inputs from various sources. Alisa's ability to both analyze and address the ongoing changes was remarkable and we greatly benefited from her skilled approach. Despite the challenges we were able to deliver a clear and credible application within the stated time frame. Her roles encompassed that of facilitator, conflict resolver, researcher, analyzer, innovator and writer and we were very lucky she was able to support us so capably at a time of significant need."
