Our work is tailored to the needs of each organization and the people involved. An engagement may focus on one particular challenge or draw on several of the areas below as needs and opportunities emerge.
Strategy & Planning
We help organizations step back, understand where they are, and make thoughtful choices about where they want to go. Our work may include strategic and organizational planning, research and analysis, organizational or program assessment and design, and translating priorities into practical plans for action.
Facilitation & Engagement
We design and facilitate processes that bring people together to listen, learn, make decisions, and move work forward. This may include retreats and planning sessions, stakeholder and community engagement, communications strategy, and support for organizing and advocacy efforts.
Leadership & Organizational Development
We work alongside leaders and teams as they navigate growth, change, and the everyday challenges of leading mission-driven organizations. Our work may include leadership advising and coaching, organizational development, professional learning, and strengthening the systems and practices that support effective teams.
Boards & Governance
We help boards strengthen their ability to govern well and work effectively with organizational leadership. This may include board development, governance structures and practices, roles and responsibilities, board–staff relationships, and facilitated conversations about organizational direction and change.
Leadership Transitions & Search
Leadership transitions can be pivotal moments for organizations. We support succession and transition planning, executive and other key searches, hiring processes, and the organizational thinking that should accompany a change in leadership. When appropriate, we can also provide interim or transitional leadership.
Sustainability & Capacity
We help organizations think about what it will take to sustain their work over time—not only financially, but organizationally. This may include resource-development strategy, organizational and staffing structures, partnerships, capacity building, and aligning resources with strategic priorities.
