Colorado Succeeds’ Story

Consulting is more than building better businesses and meeting client needs—it's about solving the world’s biggest problems to create a better future. At Credera, this means living out our global, boutique approach by partnering with our clients to create deep relationships that generate extraordinary results. It means working through change, innovating for the future, and creating lasting impact.

But what does it actually feel like to work with Credera? Finding a capable consulting partner isn’t the challenge. Finding a consulting partner you trust and enjoy working with is the real challenge.

So what makes Credera different?

We asked our clients to answer that question. Here’s what Colorado Succeeds has to say about why Credera is a partner they trust and what we achieved together.

A challenge shared: Colorado Succeeds’ story

Colorado Succeeds was founded in 2006 by a group of CEOs who saw the need for a non-partisan business advocacy organization focused solely on education and workforce development. As end consumers of the education and talent development system, the members of Colorado Succeeds advocate for policies that improve outcomes for learners and support innovative programs inside and outside of the classroom.

Today they are a business coalition of over 200 members across the state of Colorado that advocate for policies and work alongside school districts. Their policies have impacted over 190,000 learners statewide.

In 2008, Credera was new to the Denver scene, and Colorado Succeeds partnered with the Credera team on a big initiative called ColoradoSchoolGrades.org. This project was about leveraging data and technology to get information into the hands of families so they could decide which schools were the best for them.

Throughout the past 15 years, Credera has continued to work together with Colorado Succeeds on countless projects, focusing on user management, data analytics, web experience, and change and growth management.

The Credera Difference, in Colorado Succeeds’ words

“The Credera Difference is the people. The personalities, the skills, the relationships… that’s what keeps this partnership moving!” said Ashley Andersen, vice president of corporate relations at Colorado Succeeds, reflecting on 15 years of ongoing partnership.

“The Credera Difference is a team that provides exceptional expertise and that’s also always focused on relationships. You can tell they have our best interests in mind,” said Rachel Van Brocklin, director of communications at Colorado Succeeds.

The Credera Difference, in Credera’s words

Credera is a global boutique. This means you have access to a global wealth of expertise with the personalized approach you’d expect from a local partner.

From initial vision through final execution, we help clients make a measurable impact while forging incredible and authentic relationships.

Here’s what that means to us:

• Global scale, boutique experience:

  We offer the experience, expertise, and geographic reach of a global organization, but with the hands-on and focused approach of a boutique firm. This means we craft each solution to the unique and critical needs of each client we serve.

• Measurable impact:

  Actions are louder than words. Our current clients rated Credera a 9.2 out of 10 on likelihood of recommending us to a friend and 100% of client survey responses rated our outputs as high (30%) or very high (70%) quality. That means we’re delivering real results that make an impact for the long run.

• Authentic relationships:

  Incredible impact and authentic relationships come from doing the real work together. The magic happens when we ask the right questions, don’t assume anything, and understand what unique people and sectors need, want, and what truly matters to them at the end of the day.

• Vision through execution:

  Working with a consulting firm should be simple, comprehensive, and move at warp speed. With efficient transition, immediate momentum, and quick results, our creative, growth-focused team knows what it takes to go fast and make an impact from idea through execution.

As the saying goes, a challenge shared is a challenge halved. Better to share it with a partner you trust and enjoy.
