Our Services
Strategic Planning
We support teams to produce strategic plans that are useful, actionable, and clear. We bring in different modalities, such as play and creativity, that support participants to deeply connect with, understand, and shape their strategic plans. We put time and care into holding space, making room for the conversations that need to happen to help a group get unstuck.
We see ourselves as stewards of the process, supporting you– the experts of your organization– to create a plan that can serve as your guiding document as you uplift your organization into its next chapter.
Not ready (or don’t need) full strategic plan?
Sometimes, a full-blown strategic planning process just isn’t feasible, but there are still pieces of that process that can be utilized to keep an organization flowing in the right direction. We offer mix-and-match options for targeted interventions that can support an organization to move forward intentionally and strategically:
Redefining Mission/Vision/Values
Workplan Review
Staff & organizational structure review
Succession Planning
Creating pathways for leadership development
Business structure identification
Program alignment to mission, vision, values
Contingency Planning
As the political landscape continues to shift in unpredictable ways, nonprofits and grassroots organizations need to be prepared to pivot swiftly and strategically. Contingency planning is a strategy for navigating uncertain waters and preparing to face crises head-on without reactivity.
Whereas a strategic plan is designed to guide an organization through 2-5 years of intentional growth, a contingency plan sets an organization up to respond to changing circumstances while maintaining integrity and alignment towards mission and values.
Organizational Development
How we do our work matters just as much as the work itself. Nonprofits are at the leading edge of experimentation with new organizational models that center equity and employee well-being. I support organizations to assess their current systems and pilot new practices to create more liberatory workplaces.
Example projects:
Evaluate organizational structure
Develop equitable organizational policy and practices
Shared/cooperative leadership models
Transition to a 4-day work week
Democratic decision-making
Program assessment processes
Professional Coaching
We provide professional coaching to people and teams who could use support in the following areas:
Supervision / Management
Holding a team that is having conflict
Navigating organizational transition
Follow-through on strategic plan
Sunsetting
Sunsetting is an intentional process to close an organization with integrity. This process creates space for reflection, celebration, archiving, and wrapping up all loose ends. We will work with you to ensure that all stakeholders have clear roles during the sunsetting process and get to be engaged in the act of closing down the organization, providing as much closure as possible for those who held the organization most dearly.
