Strategic Planning, and Organizational
Capacity
Lean Strategic Planning ©
We specialize in strategic planning and have devised the Lean Strategic Planning © method, rigorously tested and consistently refined. In addition, we have extensive experience collaborating with multi-tiered organizations comprising diverse stakeholders.
Our approach ensures that the planning process is dynamic, impactful, and pertinent, with participants fully engaged in their contributions rather than bogged down by administrative tasks. Our aim is for you to actively participate and contribute without the burden of managing the details.
We collaborate closely with our clients, taking on the role of primary facilitator for the strategic planning process, which encompasses meetings, interviews, and other necessary activities, unless otherwise specified. This approach ensures streamlined progress and fosters effective and impartial data gathering.
We craft pertinent and captivating strategies and design processes for program evaluation and measurement, seamlessly integrating them into a comprehensive strategic plan.
In today’s rapidly changing environment, business strategies need to be flexible and nimble so you can quickly respond to challenges and opportunities. That requires a strategy founded on data and strong values. The experience and expertise of our consultants, and hundreds of clients in a variety of industries and nonprofits has allowed us to refine our strategic planning process into one that is LEAN, compelling, and relevant.
We are experts at collecting the information necessary to make data driven decisions about the strategy. This important data includes internal and external trends and best practices that drive your business, as well as understanding stakeholder needs and perceptions (surveys, interviews, focus groups, listening sessions). Occasionally, we get asked to do a needs assessment which in essence is a robust, in-depth stakeholder analysis.
