Non-Profit, N Street Village, Uses Expert Choice to Help Select New Social Venture
Washington, DC (April 22, 2008) – N Street Village, a Washington, DC-based non-profit organization dedicated to assisting homeless and low-income woman, utilized Expert Choice's software to help them choose a social entrepreneurship venture to launch. Expert Choice, Inc. is a leading provider of innovative collaboration and prioritization software and has been a part of the DC community for 25 years.
N Street Village used Expert Choice’s web-based software, Comparion™ Core, to identify and prioritize objectives for their new venture, which included becoming financially sustainable and providing their current consumer base with long-term opportunities. Comparion Core helped N Street Village facilitate and track collaboration among board members, committee members, staff, and alumnus. The insights gained helped N Street Village evaluate 26 business opportunities they had identified.
"Before using Expert Choice, our process in choosing a suitable venture that is aligned with the mission of N Street Village had stalled," said Ann McCreedy of N Street Village. "With Expert Choice and Comparion Core, we identified concerns that key decision-makers had and were able to address them effectively as a group. Expert Choice enabled us to move forward with optimism and confidence."
"At Expert Choice we’re often working with Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies, so it feels great to work with an organization like N Street Village that’s dedicated to making a real difference in our community," said Dr. Ernest Forman, Professor of Management Science at George Washington University and Co-founder and Chairman of Expert Choice, Inc. "We're honored to have the opportunity to assist N Street Village in determining how they can make the most of this initiative."
