What CSPM Group does

CSPM Group focuses on nurturing a co-creation mindset between three primary groups: The local community, the municipality and the private sector. All three must be in sync to co-create beautiful places.

The glue to this symphonic partnership is a co-commitment to the triple bottom line; being economically, socially and environmentally beneficial. Everyone gets what they need: The local community is listened to and its values realized, the municipality has happy citizens and sustainable sources of revenue, and the private sector has a predictable path to profit.

At the heart of all of this is a legitimate process, one that is trustworthy, fair and predictable. Deny people legitimacy, and they will come out and defeat you. Provide legitimacy and they will support you enthusiastically.
