Kudos From Our Clients

You will find below kind words from some of our recent clients:

“One of the most rewarding experiences during the early years of my career was to meet Jim Donovan and watch him operate a long-term business landscape assessment / consulting gig for Paradiso Films in San Juan.

I was fascinated by the way that Jim conducted his research. He had this amazing style of interviewing stakeholders in which he was able to get every bit of concrete data he needed while providing the most pleasant conversation you can imagine. I had never seen anything like it before and I’ve modeled much of how I go about business consulting on what I learned from Jim so many years ago.

I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Jim on a number of engagements ever since and I’ve continued to learn from him every step of the way. Jim is an outstanding business person, a generous mentor and a great friend.”

“Jim Donovan has helped my Board and me to lead The Music School of  Delaware to achieve fundraising goals way beyond what was achieved by the  school in the past. This has led to the ability to realize unprecedented  program growth and success, too. I was very impressed by the recent blog notes  on developing strong Board leadership. Once again, Jim is right on the  money when it comes to what organizations need – especially in these  extra-challenging times!”

“Jim, the major gifts workshop at the University of Miami was just great.  Big crowd, big ideas, and your platform skills get better and better.”

“Thanks to the fund raising feasibility study done by Donovan Management Inc., we were able to secure a government grant to support our construction efforts.  The study was most comprehensive and the suggested action plan for moving forward was exactly what we needed.”

“The future of Sunrise Theater here in Fort Pierce was in doubt a few years ago. However, thanks to the fund raising feasibility study DM conducted, the theater is a huge success.  The study laid the ground work for rallying the community around this historic and Main Street cultural jewel. Week-end venues are often sold out.”
