Client FAQs

How are client organizations identified and selected?

The PGI Directors accept client applications and negotiate projects with selected partner organizations every summer before the new year in September. Please note that the PGI receives more applications than can be selected. PGI Directors will make decisions regarding which projects will be selected for the coming year. There is no guarantee that the submission of a project scope document will result in a partnership with the PGI.

After being matched with Consultants, how does the organization proceed?

PGI Directors introduce them to the Consultants that have been matched with their project via email. Consultants are to email the organization contact to set up an initial meeting, which will also be attended by the supervising Director. Within the first two weeks of the initial meeting, the Consultants should return a signed Letter of Engagement outlining the agreed-upon terms of the project to the PGI Directors.

If my placement is not working out, what actions can I take?

PGI values its clients and seeks to maintain positive relationships with partner organizations. Clients and Consultants are encouraged to communicate regularly. In the case that clients have concerns that are unable to be addressed with Consultants, clients should contact the PGI Directors for assistance in resolving the situation. Directors can provide support as a neutral party and guidance on steps to move forward.
