Praise for Case In Government and Nonprofit
“Case In Government and Nonprofit distills much of what I’ve learned the hard way in the public sector, as both a government official and nonprofit executive.” - Thomas Tighe, CEO, Direct Relief
“This book is a survival toolkit for anyone looking to master and excel in public sector and nonprofit work, whether they’re a consultant, director, or someone learning how to manage up for the first time. Cosentino and Piekara smartly communicate that the first order of business isn’t about problem-solving, but ensuring that you have the right tools and frameworks you’d need to tackle any obstacle or work request that comes your way. - Phim Her, Marketing Solutions Manager, The Washington Post
“As a consultant in the public and social sector, I think Marc and Evan produce a thoughtful, engaging, must-read for aspiring and current practitioners.

Outstanding book about case interviews. Though a lot of it is common sense, it taught me a more structured way to think about and frame business problems. An excellent overview I will keep for future reference.
