Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is a practice of alignment before it is a document.
A strategic plan succeeds when it names what is true, fits the context, and can be carried by the people who must live it.
I facilitate strategic planning for individuals, nonprofits, and purpose-driven businesses in a way that holds three systems together: the personal, the relational, and the larger field.
Common Focus Areas
- Strategic planning facilitation (single-session or multi-session)
- Mission, vision, and strategic priorities
- Theory of change or strategic logic (as appropriate)
- Decision-making frameworks and evidence-based approaches
- Implementation planning: sequencing, ownership, and accountability
Ways to Work Together
Ways to Work Together
Advisory (ongoing)
Decision support for leaders navigating complexity and tradeoffs. Advisory is best when you need clear prioritization, sequencing, risk awareness, and accountability over time. We focus on what matters most, what is feasible now, and what needs to wait.
Facilitation (single session or series)
Planning designed as a disciplined conversation, not a binder. Facilitation typically includes stakeholder alignment, strategic priorities, decision rules, and implementation sequencing. You get a plan people can carry because they participated in building it.
Implementation support
Support that turns planning into traction: workplans, dashboards, meeting rhythms, role clarity, and follow-through structures. Implementation support is for organizations that do not need more ideas, but need an operating system that sustains execution.
