Question: What is your corporate vision?

Answer: Common Sense Solutions, LLC believes that environmentalism does not have to mean extremism and that companies can successfully create solutions that satisfy regulators and demonstrate that they are well intentioned and willing to comply with statutory requirements--without incurring significant economic impact.

Question: How will you lobby for us in Washington, D.C.?

Answer: Our lobbying efforts are designed to keep your concerns on the battle lines and in front of the committees that can make a difference. Common Sense Solutions, LLC will contact and educate Congressional representatives on your issue and disseminate materials that will assist their staff in drafting and voting on legislation. We will meet with and be your voice to key participants on Congressional votes. As a client, you will receive electronic updates of proposed legislation and regulatory changes which may impact your company or non-profit organization.

Question: How do you typically carry out a consulting assignment?

Answer: As former state and federal environmental regulators, our staff will come to your site to review, evaluate, and provide recommendations on your environmental problem. Our trained professionals will provide a written assessment of your wetland, endangered species, petroleum, hazardous waste,  NEPA, outdoor recreation, brownfield project or other natural resource concern.

Question: What steps do you take to ensure our company is able to enact your recommendations?

Answer: Common Sense Solutions, LLC has the expertise to provide you a "total picture" of your compliance weaknesses before you encounter problems from regulators. A written report will highlight areas of vulnerability and make recommendations for corrective measures. By working in partnership with your staff, we transfer our skills and recommendations to enable you to solve future problems. We foster participation from a range of staff members in crafting solutions, so you will not have a consultant's report sitting on your desk waiting for people who did not invest in it to act on it. Your employees will be your future ambassadors of change.

Question: How can your recommendations prevent future problems?

Answer: We work with you and your staff to design a realistic plan that reflects your company's goals. The plan--a directional guide for change--addresses priority needs first and identifies sequenced steps to reach long-term goals.

Together, we measure the results of each solution, using written evaluations and debriefings. We answer questions such as: Was the solution successfully applied? Are we positioned to head off similar problems in the future?

Common Sense Solutions, LLC not only provides solutions, we put them to work in an integrated effort to move your environmental program forward. To effect permanent solutions that work for your company, we monitor progress and draw upon additional expertise as necessary, through strategic alliances with other specialists.

Question: How can Common Sense Solutions create and improve environmental programs?

Answer: Whether your organization is for-profit or non-profit, you know you must operate in an increasing environment of regulations and legislation. Common Sense Solutions, LLC will utilize a strategic, systematic approach to direct your organization's environmental program, building on current strengths.

Your organization will be able to answer such questions as: What is working now? What are your future goals? Most importantly, employees will be included in this process and their potential will be your solution, allowing your organization to realize its ultimate goals.

Question: Do you provide executive coaching?

Answer: In one-on-one sessions with managers, we will sharpen individual styles and skills needed to maximize environmental awareness.

Question: Will you facilitate meetings?

Answer: One of the highest costs to any company is "time spent in meetings." To maximize productivity, we help plan agenda, guide discussions issue-by-issue within allotted time frames, and work with you to determine next steps. At Common Sense Solutions, LLC, we know success can only come from collaborative relationships with our clients and regulators. Together, we work to determine why communications are breaking down. No two organizations have the same environmental mission and vision, the same values, or the same critical success factors. And no one solution can apply to all.

We employ a systematic approach designed to promote stakeholder involvement and tailor solutions to meet your unique needs.
