Strategic Planning

David’s consulting services for nonprofit organizations are delivered through an organizational development and capacity-building framework. Services are tailored to address the specific needs of each organization.

We offer a facilitated and inclusive process that generates a shared vision among an organization’s key stakeholders and a plan that positions the organization to respond to a changing environment and enhance the achievement of its mission.

Our approach is to facilitate a highly engaging strategy development process that taps into the collective intelligence, experience and passion of the staff leadership team, board, and others.

The result is a powerful, implementable strategy that drives real value, pride, and commitment. People tell us that they come away with a much deeper understanding of their business because of the thought-provoking conversations they have during the process. They have faith in success because it includes prioritization of goals, benchmarking, and clear incremental objectives to be achieved in measurable timeframes.
