Core Values, Mission, Vision: Development to Fulfillment

Strategic Planning

Organizations thrive when they can ground their decisions in clear a mission, vision, and core values. The key is that these cannot just be words on a wall or letterhead. We support organizations to identify its core values, mission, and vision and align practices and actions that demonstrate these components through all aspects of the organization (e.g., hiring practices, financial decisions, organizational change, conflict resolution, celebrations). We not only work with you to engage key stakeholders in creating mission, vision, and core values statements, we develop plans to support these words/phrases in coming to life for your organization.

Leaders have different goals and needs for their organizations. In order to meet these goals, it is essential that members of the organization understand what the key leverage points are to obtain the desired outcomes. The ability to plan strategically with key actions allows organizations to be intentional and clear along the way. We will work with you to develop your organization’s unique strategic plan or action plan. We will create visuals that are accessible to all stakeholder groups because messaging matters.

Systems-Thinking: From Visioning to Implementation to Outcomes

Board Development

The art of moving from current realities to future vision can be equated to planting a vegetable garden. There are so many components that are necessary for a healthy garden that produces nutrient-rich and disease-free vegetables. This does not happen by chance. We will work with you and your organization to understand the systems that are working/not working, what are the root causes of the current reality, and how the organization can reach its future vision. Along the way, we will celebrate and recognize successes and opportunities for adjustments.

Whether you have a public board or a private board, there will always be a need to develop strong and effective relationships, communication behaviors, policies/practices, and board recruitment. Organizations face challenges when there are compromised board practices. The majority of these challenges can be addressed through increasing board members’ competencies, strategic planning/action planning, returning to mission/vision/values, organization, and communication. We will work with Boards and C-suite leaders to ensure that the needs of the organization are met through strong board and C-Suite practices.

Succession Planning

Team-building & Meeting Facilitation

Organizations that plan for succession are more prepared when key members of the organization plan to leave or leave. It is important for organizations to create a culture where succession planning is not left to chance but instead is focused on development, honesty, executive coaching, and clear practices. We support organizations to understand the short-term and long-term planning that is necessary when it comes to being prepared for planned and unplanned changes in leadership.

Strong teams produce even stronger outcomes then they initially planned because they reduce the negative noise that is apparent for dysfunctional teams. When teams are able to communicate, problem-solve, innovate, design, laugh, and play together, the organization thrives and the individuals enjoy their work more. We will work with leaders throughout the organization to create team-building opportunities that are facilitated in meaningful and thought-provoking ways. We will create opportunities to explore, embed design thinking, create, and take-risks that lead to stronger teams and professional relationships.
