At Golden Egg Concepts, we’re all about helping our clients shine brighter and work smarter—and that’s why we’ve decided to pursue DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) certification with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT DOT). We self-certified many moons ago as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) with the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services but taking this next (more time intensive) step at the request of one of our national engineering clients felt like a natural evolution for our growing business.Why the change? Many of our clients tackle local, state, and federal contracts, and those projects often have specific DBE subcontracting goals. By stepping into this space, we’re giving our clients more ways to partner with us while supporting their efforts to meet those objectives on their projects. It’s a win-win!
Stakeholder Communications
At the heart of what we do is stakeholder communications—a critical piece of project management that’s too often overlooked or considered as an afterthought. We’ve done it all, from designing websites and crafting custom report graphics to creating powerful presentations, conducting surveys. Hell, we’ve even gone so far as to develop branded, professional Accident Prevention Plan templates for submission to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The common thread on all these assignments is how vital clear, effective communication is to project success, especially when there are multiple perspectives at the table.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward, we’re leaning into this strength and doubling down on what we do best: helping our clients tell their story, connect with their audiences, and keep everyone informed and engaged. With our DBE certification checked off in Connecticut, we’re exploring the certification process with surrounding states here in New England (and beyond!) to open the door to even more opportunities to work with clients on local, State and federal projects where strategic messaging and presentation makes all the difference.
We’re also on a mission to help project leaders view stakeholder communications as more than just an extra line item on the budget. It’s a value-added service that can enhance project outcomes, improve engagement, and reduce risks. When you plan to incorporate it from the start, the results speak for themselves.
