Strategic Planning
Stakeholder inclusive, data informed, planning complemented by easy to use implementation tools that leave organizations in action in pursuit of their goals.
Our Approach
Developing Leadership’s Perspectives
Leadership teams collaborate with us to design projects that leverage their existing capabilities and knowledge. They build the understanding they need to support important planning decisions from the research and analysis we do to gather diverse stakeholder perspectives and to address knowledge gaps.
Creating a Shared Vision
Planning teams work together in facilitated sessions to create compelling detailed visions of success for their organizations and priorities for strategic initiatives. A graphic recorder documents the richness of their discussions, preserving them for future reference and as a tool for wider communication.

Engaging the Organization in Action

Reinforcing with Accountability
Leadership teams make the hard decisions needed to allocate resources to strategic priorities and hold teams accountable for their implementation using established systems to monitor and adjust strategic initiatives.
