We’ll work together to assemble a group of partners from your community, study the issues, and develop creative approaches to make the place better. Want to enhance the appeal of your community and its downtown to new residents? Attract and retain young workers? Elevate the competitiveness of your region for new investment? We’ll craft a plan to get it done, informed by what’s worked - and what hasn’t worked - in other places. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3db572fb4d851392a835f8/1585334172642-K38SN6ZSYMZYQSN78G83/organizations%2B2.jpg matt tarleton - Better organizations. Imagine a part-time Director of Strategy to help ensure that staff and board members remain proactive and passionate in their daily efforts to fulfill the organization’s mission. Someone that can work with you, your staff and your board to ensure that the organization treats strategic planning as a cultural necessity and not simply a periodic event. That’s me. Together, we’ll design effective approaches to strategic planning that empower your team and your board to think critically and creatively about the organization’s future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3db572fb4d851392a835f8/1585334323984-JUZNBL8KJKFZ5OBXTT9X/MT%2BGrand%2BIsland%2BPhoto%2B2bwcropped.jpg matt tarleton - Better leaders. An on-call adviser, a second opinion or a gut check when you need it. A day-to-day resource for you, your staff or your board chair; someone with whom you can share ideas or discuss what other organizations have done. Someone that can ask you: “Have you considered this?” or candidly suggest “That might not be the best idea.” A confidant to help you navigate the various challenges that accompany your position. Or just someone to complain to at the end of the day. It’s my job to add value to that conversation. https://www.mtarleton.com/services daily 0.75 2023-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3db572fb4d851392a835f8/1585334921096-HS4NTAK0ZFYII7AR5C1C/atlanta-819326.jpg services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3db572fb4d851392a835f8/1585335010838-CV5XQI0EV2KHQRDCCHTX/organizations%2B2.jpg services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3db572fb4d851392a835f8/1585335099879-3S4NNYW12I0VQRB7KJ4B/MT+Grand+Island+Photo+2bwcropped.jpg services https://www.mtarleton.com/clients daily 0.75 2025-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3db572fb4d851392a835f8/68d9e2ab-9ac5-48f7-bbf3-d4b5687666e2/indy.jpg clients Indianapolis is cool, just like this photo of Mass Ave. “One of Matt’s great strengths is his ability to work across private, public and philanthropic sectors, as well as his years of experience bridging urban, suburban and rural communities.
