Planning with Purpose

Our plans are built for the real world. We design processes to help groups understand where they are and provide tools to plan for the future. Effective strategic planning will help you move from reactive to intentional. Our process is rooted in creativity, engagement, and asking deep questions to get to deeper understanding. Don’t write another plan that sits on a shelf.

Case Study:

An art district had experienced massive growth. The organization had a patchwork of plans and so many creative ideas. They also had different stakeholders wanting different things, everything from improved parking to youth programs. We worked with local artists, businesses, and residents to understand where their needs aligned. We helped staff and the board get clear on their strengths. We shined a light on how growth had changed community desires. The final plan was responsive, clear, and positioned the organization to respond to growth.

what our clients say

We work with organizations of all sizes, from grassroots community groups to state-wide government agencies.
