This week’s MWBE Pop Up in Albany was a powerful reminder of what happens when opportunity meets access.

Small businesses from across the region connected directly with agencies and organizations actively seeking partners for upcoming projects right here in Albany. Spaces like this matter. They create real pathways for MWBEs to be seen, heard, and selected.

At Harkness Consulting Solutions, we’re always excited to be in rooms like this, building relationships, learning about emerging needs, and positioning our clients and ourselves to deliver meaningful impact.

If your organization is looking for a management consulting partner grounded in strategy, operations, and results, we should talk.

Let’s turn your vision into ex*****on.

Q2 has us fully in motion and exactly where we want to be.

We’re currently writing scripts for a project launching in June, supporting performance coaching engagements for a new client, and wrapping up a major milestone as our CEO completes her Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Behind the scenes, we’re strengthening our internal operations, implementing new processes, adapting to a new CRM, and building out our pipeline with a newly acquired business forecasting tool.

On the client side, we’re delivering full-suite operational consulting for a government partner, supporting strategic planning and retreat preparation for a nonprofit’s Board, staff, and leadership team, and presenting program progress and 2026 strategy to another organization’s Board of Directors.

We’re also exploring collaboration opportunities with firms like Deloitte and other downstate consulting firms. Will you be at the MWBE Pop-up Series today at the Washington Park Lake House in Albany?

We’re also onboarding a new small business client to support the launch and marketing of their new venture and continuing to invest in staff development to support growth.

Booked and busy is the best way.

Six years ago, Melody Harkness Mobele founded Harkness Consulting Solutions with a vision, a deep commitment to impact, and a willingness to build one opportunity at a time. Since then, this journey has been filled with some of the most rewarding professional experiences of her career, internship programs, backpack and gift card giveaways, webinars, strategic planning retreats, speaking engagements, and meaningful client partnerships.

What started with a few private sector clients grew into supporting nonprofits, and then expanded to working with state government. The path has been linear, intentional, and grounded in steady growth. Each project, each relationship, and each milestone has helped shape who we are today.

Reaching six years is especially meaningful when you consider that only about 1 in 3 Black-owned businesses make it beyond five years. To not only sustain but steadily grow with purpose and impact is something we are very proud of.

As we reflect on this milestone, we're grateful for the trust, the collaboration, and the opportunity to do purpose-driven work that makes a real difference. And the most exciting part, we’re just getting started. We have so many projects in store over the next few years! We’ll continue forward with the same mission, purpose, and commitment to impact.

Happy Anniversary, Harkness Consulting Solutions.

Six years strong, and still building.

Q1 was about intentional movement across every area of the business.

From our CEO transition to strengthening our client pipeline, elevating our brand strategy, and investing in systems that support sustainable growth, every decision was rooted in planning, forecasting, and long-term vision.

Growth doesn’t happen by chance. It happens by design, one opportunity at a time.

At Harkness Consulting Solutions, we don’t just teach strategy, we model it.

This is the same approach we bring to start-ups, nonprofits, and public sector clients every day.

Q2 focus: scale, structure, and strategic ex*****on.

Let’s build what’s next.

Today marks a defining milestone for Harkness Consulting Solutions.

Our CEO officially transitions from a government employee to a full-time government contractor and nonprofit consultant, stepping fully into leadership and entrepreneurship with intention, strategy, and purpose.

This moment is more than a career shift. It reflects years of building, planning, and planting seeds, balancing public service with a growing consulting practice rooted in impact, equity, and results.

As featured in Entrepreneur, this transition represents a bold commitment to scaling our work across public sector, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations, without compromising the values that got us here.

We are excited for what’s ahead as we continue to:
• Strengthen public institutions
• Advance equitable and data-informed solutions
• Support leaders navigating complex change
