Client Story:
Center for Labor & a Just Economy
Early in 2022, Sharon Block transitioned from the United States Department of Labor to lead Harvard’s Labor and Worklife Program. Cognizant of the quickly-shifting labor landscape, Ms. Block engaged SSA to develop a stakeholder survey and engage dozens of donors, labor thought leaders, staff, and more, in a series of interviews to capture and distill valuable feedback on the positioning and unique value proposition of the Program. SSA also led a landscape analysis of peer academic institutions and a communications refresh, including rebranding the Program to the Center for Labor and a Just Economy. This work resulted in a report laying out recommendations for strategic organizational priorities based on work conducted throughout the engagement.
