Hi! I work with nonprofit leaders to develop strategic, program and operational plans that allow for continuous adjustment to respond to the real-time needs of their stakeholders. The four pillars of my work are done in complete collaboration with my client:

• Listen-  I capture and summarize the challenges, needs, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities of meeting the organization's mission.
• Invent - I facilitate engaging discussions and exercises to invent solutions for challenges and opportunities for strengthening and, if appropriate, growing an organization.
• Prioritize - I facilitate direct, compelling, and necessary conversations to prioritize the right work, that will have the most immediate impact to the people my clients serve.
• Plan - The "living" Strategic Plan you develop with my support provides the organization with the roadmap you need to stay on target with your strategic commitments. I also suggest a process for actively engaging the Board in the regular use and ammendments to the Strategic Plan throughout the lifecycle of the plan.

Example deliverables when you work with me:

• SWOT Analysis
• Updated Mission and Vision Statements
• (Actionable!) Strategic Planning Grid
• Reality Screen to help you make strategic decisions
• 3-month operational plan to help you act on your strategic plan (so it doesn't sit on a shelf)!
• Quarterly check-ins after completion of Strategic Plan

I love what I do! Please do not hesitate to connect. I'd love to talk with you about your needs. ~Allison
