Our headquarters are located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with additional offices located close to our clients throughout the Midwest and Mid- Atlantic states. Springsted's work in the Mid - Atlantic states began with implementing higher education financings in the early 1970s. Since then, our long- term commitment to the region has grown along with the range of services offered to local governments, independent authorities, state agencies and non - profit organizations as they work to overcome increasingly complex and far - ranging financial, economic development, human resource and management issues and problems. In 2000, Springsted solidified its commitment to the region through its merger with a well known and highly regarded financial advisory and management consulting firm based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Our office in Richmond, Virginia serves clients throughout the East Coast and surrounding areas. Organizational Management Public entities are under a great amount of pressure to deliver high and Human Resources quality services in a fiscally constrained environment. Traditional methods and means don't necessarily work anymore and this scenario is not likely to change at any time in the future. To that end, elected officials and public administrators are under pressure to employ new and innovative solutions that require progressive leadership, creative partnerships, cautious risk taking and an investment in their personnel and organizational foundation. Success in the public sector is hard to define, but those public entities that enhance and enrich their people, their process and their systems are more likely to deliver more value by maximizing the use of public resources, thus achieving more success in the marketplace of public opinion. Springsted's staff has been advising our clients in organizational development for over 25 years. We have a strong staff with direct experience in managing and leading local city and county governments. " Springsted kl. Lee County, North Carolina.
