Our Services

Situation Assessments | Strategic Planning | Theory of Change Design | Outreach Strategy | Process Design

We help organizations, coalitions, and initiatives translate passion into clear, actionable strategies that deliver measurable impact. Drawing on landscape analyses, stakeholder and conflict assessments, and an understanding of organizational capacity and positioning, we facilitate strategic alignment around missions, goals, and outcomes, and can help your program, organization, or alliance assess options and chart a path to collaboration tailored to your needs and designed to achieve your desired impacts.

Coalition Building & Support | Working Group and Committee Facilitation | Secretariat Services

We help groups tackle high-stakes issues together, navigating diverse perspectives, bridging divides, and transforming dialogue into coordinated action. Whether shaping a shared vision, identifying policy solutions, planning joint programs, or scouting allies and partners, we design collaborative processes that deliver sustainable, shared solutions.

Our approach to collaborative planning ensures programs and organizational priorities are focused, coordinated, and positioned for long-term success, whether addressing a single initiative or overarching organizational goals.

We specialize in guiding collaboratively owned projects from concept through execution, keeping initiatives on track while ensuring stakeholders and partners remain informed and engaged. At key milestones, we create opportunities for input and alignment, nurturing relationships to help projects advance smoothly while maintaining shared ownership and accountability.

Agenda Development | Facilitation | Conflict Resolution | Consensus Building | Summary Documentation | Follow-Up Support

We design and deliver transformative convenings — such as workshops, webinars, retreats, and milestone gatherings — that build consensus, accelerate organizations’ strategies, strengthen stakeholder alignment, and spark actionable commitments. From the invitation list to agenda development to making space for informal engagement, our events are intentionally structured. We facilitate with a focus on deepening relationships, supporting shared learning, breaking through barriers, spurring innovation, and connecting directly to action and impact. Following events, we deliver products that capture key outcomes and initiate implementation of next steps to maintain momentum.

Trends Analyses | Scenario Development | Stakeholder Mapping | Policy & Engagement Recommendations

We help organizations anticipate and navigate change by analyzing emerging trends in their operating environment and potential pathways for policy and action. Drawing on experience across companies, communities, philanthropy, and government, we assess social, technical, and policy shifts, evaluate their implications, and map stakeholder perspectives to illuminate both risks and opportunities. We develop scenarios to test strategic options against evolving contexts and support organizations in selecting and implementing a path forward. Our customizable approach blends desk-based research, targeted stakeholder engagement, and facilitated internal strategy workshops to deliver actionable insights that inform strategy, guide investment, and strengthen resilience.

Our approach to stakeholder mapping is designed to help organizations understand and connect with the people and institutions that shape their work and impact, accounting for influence, interests, relationships, and potential points of alignment or tension. We surface perspectives that may reveal overlooked challenges or untapped opportunities. We translate these insights into actionable engagement strategies that foster trust, align priorities, and lay the groundwork for meaningful, sustained partnerships that deliver lasting impact.

Grantmaking Portfolio Design | Governance Planning | Partnership Identification & Strategy

We help foundations and companies design and implement grantmaking portfolios to maximize impact, informed by a deep understanding of community needs, existing initiatives, and key stakeholders. Our approach combines rigorous landscape analysis, vision-setting, and adaptive management to ensure grants act as powerful levers for change, fostering innovation, collaboration, and lasting results. For individual philanthropies or donor coalitions, we develop systems and governance structures that meet funder needs, minimize administrative burdens, and drive measurable impact.

We help companies design and grow CSR and ESG initiatives that deliver meaningful benefits to communities and also advance corporate objectives such as risk mitigation, regulatory alignment, and long-term resilience.

Leveraging a deep understanding of the broader social impact ecosystem, we identify strategic partnership opportunities that amplify program effectiveness. We guide clients from concept through implementation, ensuring programs are credible, collaborative, and positioned for long-term impact.
