Sector Experience
Since 2005, Elevate has delivered over 1,000 projects across Western Canada. Our work spans the following sectors, each representing an area where we've built genuine depth, not just familiarity.
Health systems are among the most complex environments to work in, and we've built our practice around that complexity. We bring deep fluency in how health authorities, ministries, and health sector organizations make decisions, manage change, and deliver services to the public. Our capabilities span organizational and system-level transformation, strategic planning, program management, stakeholder engagement, organizational assessments and system design and service design. We've worked closely alongside frontline and administrative teams, and we know how to engage in ways that respect the operational realities they navigate daily. We bring a strong track record in digital transformation, helping health sector organizations modernize systems, improve data and information flows, and manage the people-side of technology change. We know how to navigate the intersecting governance structures, regulatory environments, and stakeholder dynamics that make health sector work distinct.
Health
Public Safety, Justice & Emergency Management
Working in public safety, justice, and emergency management demands a level of discretion, rigour, and policy acuity that not every consulting firm can provide. We've earned our place in this sector by delivering on high-stakes engagements with consistency and care. Our capabilities include strategic planning, transformation strategy, policy framework development, stakeholder engagement, and program design for corrections, public safety, emergency preparedness, and justice administration. We understand the sensitivities of this work and approach every engagement with the seriousness it requires.
Technology
Digital transformation is one of the defining challenges facing governments and public institutions today. We help organizations cut through the complexity and turn technology strategy into real results. Our capabilities include digital roadmap development, IT governance design, business intelligence strategy, cybersecurity program support, and the project and change management needed to see technology initiatives through to delivery. We bring a business-first perspective to technology work, keeping the focus on what organizations are actually trying to accomplish.
Arts, culture, heritage, and recreation organizations deliver significant public value while navigating funding pressures, governance complexity, and evolving community expectations. We bring capabilities in strategic planning, program design, business advisory, and financial assessment to organizations across this sector. We know how to engage boards, funders, and communities in meaningful ways, and we help organizations make strategic decisions that strengthen their long-term sustainability and impact.
Arts and Culture
Social & Education
We work alongside the organizations responsible for some of the most important outcomes for the people who live in our communities, from social service agencies and non-profits to post-secondary institutions and school districts. Our team understands the policy and funding environments these organizations operate in, and we bring practical capabilities in strategic planning, organizational design, policy development, facilitation, financial modelling, and program evaluation. We know how to help mission-driven organizations do more with constrained resources, and we bring that commitment to every engagement across Western Canada.
Natural Resources, Energy & Utilities
The natural resources, energy, and utilities sector operates at the intersection of a complex regulatory environment, multi-stakeholder interests, and long planning horizons. We bring strong capabilities in land use planning, environmental governance, regulatory review and process design, organizational strategy, and stakeholder facilitation. We understand the unique pressures governments, regulators, crown corporations, and industry face, and we help them make decisions that hold up over time. Our work includes meaningful experience engaging with First Nations and Indigenous communities on resource and land use matters, including engagement, co-management frameworks, and relationship-building between Indigenous rights holders and project proponents. Our work in this sector spans Western Canada and reflects a genuine understanding of how resource and energy systems function.
Economy
We work with governments, crown corporations, economic development agencies, and private sector organizations on the strategies, policies, and programs that drive economic performance. Our capabilities span economic policy analysis, strategic planning, performance measurement, procurement strategy, financial advisory, facilitation, and community engagement. We understand how economic development decisions get made across government and industry, and we help clients build the analytical foundations and strategic clarity to make those decisions with confidence.
Financial Services
We offer dedicated financial consulting to public sector and broader public sector organizations that need more than a generalist perspective on the numbers. Our capabilities include budgeting and forecasting process design, zero-based budget reviews, financial modelling and analysis, and financial management transformation. We combine technical financial expertise with a deep understanding of public sector governance, helping organizations build the tools and processes they need to make confident, defensible financial decisions.
