The Challenge: Governor Tom Wolf's Department of Labor needed a statewide Future of Worker strategy—not a commission, an actual strategy—with less than two years left in his final term.

The A-Gemm Approach: Rather than top-down consulting, Anne facilitated collaborative strategy development with 60+ stakeholders—technologists, academics, business leaders, unions, workforce professionals, policymakers, and workers—over 8 weeks using Schelling Point technology.

The Result: Governor Wolf's team implemented immediately. The strategy and data from deep dialogues became essential transition resources for the incoming administration.

The Challenge: Tech Impact grew from 75 to 140 employees across three cities during the pandemic. CEO Patrick Callihan needed to rebuild culture and retain talent in a remote-first environment.

The A-Gemm Approach: Customized Future of Leadership workshop to create cross-departmental cohesion and strategic alignment.

The Result: "The workshop gave us a cohesion we could build on. We're spending less time and money with recruitment, because people feel part of the culture and remain longer."

The Challenge: Superintendent Robert Fisicaro was leading a school district with 2,500 families through a strategic planning process. His students need to prepare for a dynamic, technology-driven workplace. Previous stakeholder surveys had yielded off-topic, emotional, and unusable responses.

The A-Gemm Approach: Anne reframed the project as an eight-year strategy. She scrapped ineffective survey instruments and built a new approach designed to yield actionable quantitative and qualitative data. The process allowed all school board members, parents, teachers, community residents, and students to also be heard without endless meetings into the evenings.

The Result: In just 3 weeks, the district received over 600 in-depth responses. The data revealed a vocal minority creating disproportionate demands and identified widespread misconceptions about public funding. School leaders gained the clarity and confidence to address resistance strategically, communicate more effectively, and build a valuable strategy with genuine stakeholder support.

The Challenge: Alex Hillman and Opeola Bukola founded 10K Independents to create 10,000 new entrepreneurs within Philadelphia. Strong relationships with a previous city administration was fruitful, but those ties didn't transfer to the next government team. With a mayoral election on the horizon, 10K needed to build durable relationships that would survive political transitions.

The A-Gemm Approach: Anne provided ongoing strategic coaching and translation services for the tech community. She facilitated new relationships based on advocacy rather than lobbying—focusing on collaboration opportunities with the new administration rather than specific legislation.

The Result: 10K Independents is now positioned for productive action with the new mayor and several new and pre-existing City Council members. The approach clarifies what's important to the coalition independent of political outcomes.
