At LMGS, we know that today’s solutions cannot be cookie cutter or based upon a strict and stringent methodology. We approach each challenge as an opportunity to fully understand and learn about local communities and stakeholders. Game plans must be customized to achieve the goals set forth by the client. We see each of our client’s successes as a win for their community. We have built our solid reputation through honesty, upfront communication, consistency, consensus, and achievement.

expertise at Work

LM Genuine Solutions, a full-service firm, holistically assesses goals, priorities, and needs at the start of all client relationships. Deliverable-based scopes are uniquely tailored for each statement of work. Situational dynamics will mold the final integrated approach to each client engagement. The comprehensive framework of services available are as follows.

Project Spotlight

LMGS works with organizations that focus on purposeful and impactful work, which aligns with LMGS’s mission and vision, and that is driven forward in partnership with stakeholders and community members. Here are examples of successful partnerships.

Connecting Capital and Community (3C)

The Connecting Capital and Community (3C) initiative addresses the racial inequities at the core of the housing ecosystem. Five cities across the country are using community investment to support housing preservation, homeownership, and wealth-building. Miami is one of these cities. The 3C initiative helps teams strengthen local community investment ecosystems and advance racial equity through safe, affordable housing. LM Genuine Solutions serves as the team lead for the initiative on behalf of Miami Homes for All.

South Florida Anchor Alliance

LM Genuine Solutions has facilitated the South Florida Anchor Alliance on behalf of the Health Foundation of Florida, alongside more than 23 member entities’ various supporting partners. SFAA harnesses the power of anchor institutions to build a healthier, stronger Florida. This work seeks to level inequities through local hiring and build capabilities by creating connections.

The Underdeck

The Underdeck Committee engages multiple entities, stakeholders, and community members to work collaboratively to develop community priorities/recommendations regarding the design, maintenance, operations, fund development, governance, and community engagement to ensure that the Underdeck project is fully realized as envisioned by community stakeholders. LM Genuine Solutions leads the facilitation and program management of the Underdeck Committee. When completed, this 33-acre space will be dedicated to green space, recreation, fun and community-based programming for the public’s benefit.

Although each client is different, and their needs are diverse, the following is a framework used to guide the development of the customized, collaborative plan that leads to the successful completion of shared goals.

This first phase is a set of informal and/or formal discussions organized to determine if LMGS is good match for the client’s goals and needs. LMGS facilitates these discussions to understand the proposed goals or begin the co-development of the initial goals for the engagement. LMGS spends the time to fully comprehend the organizational and/or client’s purpose, goals, and needs. Asking the right questions and continually clarifying the needs of the client is essential at this stage.
