About Prager Company

Overview

Prager Company is a boutique consulting firm specializing in economic development and organizational change through customized, pragmatic solutions. Prager was incorporated in 1998 and operates from its offices in the Metro Chicago city of Evanston, Illinois. Corporations and governments have long recognized Prager’s work for its ability to coalesce those of differing viewpoints and enact change where needed the most.

Prager strives to equip those it serves with the strategy, structure, tools and insight necessary to succeed. And Prager remains available and accessible to provide guidance and direction long after the official assignment has drawn to a close.

To ensure quality control and the attention to detail its clients deserve, Prager accepts only a modest number of projects per year. To supplement its core team, occasionally Prager retains proven subcontractors for specific technical services, such as environmental remediation, civil engineering, statistically accurate surveying, technology transfer and public finance.

Civic Commitment

Often those most in need of economic assistance are least able to afford it. For this reason Prager selectively consults pro bono. Assistance tends to be for discrete, concrete services and for a finite period. Past examples include: helping the Navajo Nation identify investment opportunities in spite of their remoteness and economic strife; and preparing an Illinois city for life after the impending closure of its largest employer. Prager also occasionally helps struggling communities procure grants from economic development-minded foundations and sympathetic government organizations.
