Strategy and operations
We specialize in strategy implementation and connecting plans to operations.
Working hand-in-hand with leaders of organizations, we take a capacity-building approach, meeting you where you are to solve problems today and take on tomorrow’s big dreams. We help organizations both develop and implement strategy, strengthening management, operations, and program execution to ensure they can achieve their mission effectively. We identify and clarify big picture priorities, and then help create realistic implementable strategies.
Clarifying Leadership Vision and Strategy: An Evidence-Based Facilitated Process. We guide leaders through a collaborative and evidence-driven process to clarify and refine their vision and strategic direction. Using data, insights, and a hands-on approach, we work side by side with leaders to ensure that their mission aligns with actionable, measurable strategies. This comprehensive facilitation process enables organizations to identify key priorities, set realistic goals, and develop a clear roadmap for achieving long-term success. This isn’t about novel-length strategic plans that no one ever picks up again — we are all about honest conversations that lean into prioritization, work planning, and resource allocation.
Walking Alongside Organizations: Navigating Change and Scaling Operations. For organizations facing tough transitions or seeking to scale, we offer a hands-on support model where we partner with leadership over a set period. Whether it's implementing new policies, navigating leadership changes, restructuring, or adapting operations for growth, we provide tailored, ongoing guidance. By offering strategic oversight and practical implementation, we help organizations successfully navigate rough patches, rethink their operations, and chart a sustainable course for the future.
Facilitating Strategy Sessions for Leaders. Sometimes before diving into a more formal strategy engagement, leaders simply need a day or two to convene and gather their decision makers and stakeholders. Our facilitated strategy sessions provide a structured space for leaders to tackle complex challenges, make critical decisions, and align their teams around a common vision. We bring expert facilitation skills to help teams think strategically, creatively, and collaboratively. Whether refining a strategic plan, navigating an organizational shift, or addressing growth challenges, our in person or virtual sessions create the framework for productive, results-driven conversations that lead to clear action steps.
Our Approach
Unique among management consulting peers, we bring a human-first project management approach to our consulting engagements. We support leadership teams as we research, advise, and help implement solutions to big problems because we know that organizations who fail to properly integrate project management into their strategies will see their outright project failure rate increase by a factor of two-thirds.
