We Know How Things
REALLY Work
With decades of hands-on leadership in city government, we understand the challenges municipalities face — whether you’re navigating tough labor negotiations, strategic planning for the future, building high-performance teams, or managing growth and development. We also understand how to help business navigate local government. No matter which side of the table you’re on, we can help.
What Makes Us Different?
We don’t believe in buzzwords or vague promises. We believe in truth-telling, clarity, and practical solutions. We’ve sat in your chair, faced public scrutiny, managed complex staff dynamics, and delivered under pressure. Our clients know us as no-nonsense partners who care deeply about helping governments thrive — not just survive. Below is just a sampling of what our clients and colleagues have said about working with the Beacon Group.
“The consultants at Beacon spent their government careers building high performing teams. Now, they are helping me establish a solid foundation for my team as a first time city manager. “ — Southern California City Manager
“Team dynamics can be tricky in the long run. Committing to quarterly offsites and the follow up with the Beacon human resources consultants have made our team more effective and, honestly, made our work culture more fun.” — Bay Area City Manager
“Our experience with the team at Beacon Group was fantastic. Their coastal land use experience helped us gain approval for a project that we had difficulty getting through the city’s permitting process.” — San Diego County Developer
