Here is a sample of feedback from our clients!

Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association (BANA)

WEST83 was an incredible partner throughout our strategic planning process. Jessica and Julie excelled at capturing a comprehensive '360-view' of BANA's past, present, and future. We were particularly impressed by the depth of community engagement and the meaningful feedback they elicited from our staff and board. They took the time to truly understand our mission and the nuances of our work in the field of eating disorders. Professional, inquisitive, and deeply committed, they developed a five-year strategic plan that is both ambitious and perfectly tailored to our needs. I highly recommend WEST83 for any organization seeking a collaborative and insightful strategic partner

They didn’t just deliver a document; they took the time to learn the heart of our work in eating disorders- we are grateful for this extremely positive experience.

Assisted Living Southwestern Ontario

I am pleased to provide this endorsement for Jessica Sartori of West 83, in recognition of her outstanding work on the development of a new five-year strategic plan for Assisted Living Southwestern Ontario.

This was a significant and complex undertaking, requiring thoughtful engagement, careful analysis, and a deep understanding of both our organization and the community we serve. Jessica demonstrated exceptional professionalism, insight, and commitment throughout the process.

The resulting strategic plan is both comprehensive and forward-looking. It reflects a clear vision for the future, grounded in practical, actionable priorities. Jessica’s ability to collaborate effectively, facilitate meaningful dialogue, and translate diverse perspectives into a cohesive and impactful plan was instrumental to its success.

Beyond the final product, what stood out most was the level of dedication and genuine care - and enthusiasm - brought to the work. This plan was not simply developed, it was built through true partnership, responsiveness, and a shared commitment to strengthening our organization and to the clients we serve.

I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica Sartori for any organization seeking a skilled, thoughtful, and results-driven partner in strategic planning.
