Management & Strategic Planning

As an experienced Managing Leader of arts organizations, I know how difficult it can feel to look beyond the the very real pressures of daily operations towards long-term strategy. Planning is a transformational process, and is successful when the plan is grounded in an organization’s mission and core values. A Strategic Plan is an opportunity to engage in deep listening, and to re-ground mission, vision, and programs in the most creative and vital terms. As a consulting partner, I help organizations define their environment and their most impactful goals for the future, and develop detailed, evidence-based deliverables (including financial analyses and instruments) to achieve these goals.

Planning deliverables generally include:
Vision Meetings to define a planning process and strategic planning goals
Peer review and benchmarking
Process design
Stakeholder interviews
Strategic working sessions
Written Strategic Plan including current organizational capacity, strategic objectives and priorities, action plan and timeline, operating budget and financial projections, and resiliency initiatives
Optional long-term planning support
