Strategic planning brings out the best in an organization through generative and creative thinking. When done well, strategic planning forms the foundation of a well-run organization and ensures that resources are used wisely in pursuit of clearly defined goals.

We understand that planning requires skilled facilitation to bring stakeholders of an organization into agreement about objectives, priorities and allocation of human and financial resources. We also understand it takes exceptional analysis and writing to make a plan clear and coherent, and that measurement and accountability are core to a plan’s success.

We create plans that are complex enough to express the company’s mission, vision, goals, challenges and opportunities but simple enough to be used every day by staff, board and volunteers to advance the organization. We conduct our work with the flexibility and speed our world requires. And importantly, we create buy-in from key players, knowing that daily actions flow smoothly when strategic plans are done with the full input, open minds and rampant creativity of invested people.
