For over 30 years, we have worked with clients and partners to maximize the positive results of social policy. We like to consider ourselves “thought partners” with those responsible for improving programs and outcomes.
In our work, we seek out and listen to the voices of those impacted by policy decisions. And through our findings, we inform new approaches by synthesizing information within and across policy areas.
Core Values
At PPA, our work is grounded in five core values:
Collaboration
PPA is more than one person. It is a team and working together makes for deeper understanding and a better outcome. We practice this value through teamwork among staff, consultants, partners, and clients.
Creativity
While each project is unique, we like to view our work as a creative process. Part of that is seeking out opportunities to apply a diverse set of tools and skills to our work.
Excellence
Having high standards means we plan well and deliver accurate, insightful work. This success can be seen in our clients that return to us for our customized approach and commitment to quality.
Equity
Differences are an asset to our work and our world. To support greater equity, we continuously learn, identify disparities, and design inclusive approaches.
Integrity
As researchers, we often handle sensitive information and recognize the trust placed in us by those we engage and assist. We have a long history of acting with honesty and transparency. And many of our clients return because of this.
