Strategic Planning That Includes Everyone

Develop shared strategies that honor each partner's mission while building toward collective goals

Complex social challenges require coordinated responses and shared vision. I help your organization develop strategies that clarify your unique role while identifying where connection with others creates the kind of transformational impact our communities need.

  • Multi-stakeholder strategic planning
  • Cross-sector alignment
  • Collective impact frameworks
  • Adaptive strategy design

Measure What Matters Together

Design evaluation systems that capture how collaboration creates change (not just what each partner does alone)

Traditional evaluation often misses the interconnected nature of collaborative work. I help you gather meaningful evidence about how partnerships and coordinated efforts contribute to the kind of systemic change our communities deserve.

  • Collaborative impact evaluation
  • Shared measurement development
  • Collaborative learning systems
  • Multi-stakeholder data integration

Build Effective Coalitions

Create the structure, governance, and processes your multi-organization partnership needs to actually work

Addressing complex challenges requires intentionally designed collaboration and shared commitment to transformation. I help you create and manage multi-stakeholder partnerships with clear structures and adaptive practices that build toward our most ambitious goals.

  • Coalition design & governance
  • Partnership network development
  • Cross-sector collaboration frameworks
  • Coordinating entity support
