Insight and information to make the best choices
We augment traditional best practices to strategy development with
innovative emerging methodologies that bring in fresh perspectives.
What does success look like?
Here is an example of a strategic planning process that doubled the revenue of a social impact company:
Gathering feedback from varied stakeholders is a critical step in our efforts to evaluate our work. In recognition of this, we have designed our surveys to gather data from every member who participated in the strategic planning process such as all staff and stakeholders as opposed to one point of contact, providing us with a comprehensive understanding of of the impact of our sessions.
Our Client Feedback Survey revealed the following key points:
82%
FELT THAT OUR FACILITATION EXCEEDED THEIR HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS.
(THE REMAINING 18% FELT WE MET HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS).
96%
FELT THAT THEIR VOICE WAS HEARD AND VALUED DURING STRATEGIC SESSIONS
100%
FELT THAT THE STRATEGY WILL HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE ORGANIZATION
89%
FELT THAT THEY BUILT TRUST AND IMPROVED THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH STAFF, BOARD AND STAKEHOLDERS AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE PROCESS
94%
AFTER TWO YEARS, SEE THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS THEIR MAIN SOURCE FOR STRATEGY, ALIGNMENT, AND GROWTH
100%
FELT THAT THE STRATEGY BUILT CONFIDENCE WITH INVESTORS AND HELPED THEM RAISE FUNDS
Outcomes
We’ve facilitated in-person, virtual, hybrid and multilingual strategic sessions with over 525 organizations of varied sizes and across industries. What these sessions have in common is an innovative collaborative approach to broad stakeholder engagement throughout the process. Not only does this mean that the end product accounts for diversity of perspectives and experiences, but research shows this participatory approach increases buy-in from staff, community, and key decision-makers by helping them feel ownership over the final strategy.
