Start with the problem.
Put evidence to work.
Pragmatic Public Management Consulting, LLC (PPMC) is a consulting and research company focused on moving research in public policy and management into practice.
We help government agencies, nonprofits, and other mission-driven partners understand complex problems and decide what to do next. Grounded in pragmatist philosophy, our approach treats knowledge as provisional and collaborative inquiry as a practical response to public policy problems in the context in which they exist. We emphasize experimentation, learning from consequences, and revising our understanding as evidence and circumstances change.
