Planning & Decision Making

We help you implement and support decision makers to improve performance, and achieve desired results. By considering planning and decision making from multiple perspectives, and by helping you identify and engage stakeholders, we’ll bring together powerful data tools to help you understand not just what is happening, but why and what to do about it. We’ll also help you understand your organizational and programmatic strengths, weaknesses, and performance to better focus your resources. This ultimately unleashes new insights for better decision-making and facilitates real change in your organization and your community.

We identify gaps in operations, resources, services, and performance, and develop targeted interventions and ensure you are meeting the needs of your organization and stakeholders. Let us help you identify areas of improvement and development within your organization or network.

We organize and facilitate public outreach conversations and events with  community leaders, community members, and other key stakeholders. These group conversations are used to collect rich, qualitative data to better understand the lived experiences of different groups of people. Group conversations may be facilitated virtually or in-person to encourage open and honest dialogue within a safe space. Let us help you connect with members of the community who might not have the chance to interact otherwise, ensure that all voices are heard, and capture data that would be hard to gather otherwise.

We provide you with valuable insights into the market dynamics, including market size, trends, competitors, customers, and suppliers, to help you make informed decisions and stay ahead of the competition. Our team of experts specializes in conducting thorough and comprehensive research to help organizations understand their communities and service sectors, identify opportunities and threats, and develop effective and actionable strategies for success. 

We guide organizations through an ongoing strategic planning process to set their forward course and vision for the future. This process differs from the project planning process, which is used to scope and assign tasks for individual projects, or strategy mapping, which helps you determine your mission, vision, and goals. A strategic plan captures an organization’s mission and core principles and envisions the fulfillment of these ideals. 

The process typically involves five steps: determining where you are; identifying your goals and objectives; developing your strategy; implementing your strategy; and monitoring and adjusting your plan. Data analysis and advanced analytics play a key role in developing a strategic plan and monitoring progress. A solid data-focused strategy will help the organization to set future performance goals through data analysis, desired performance metrics, and measurements. Let us help you unearth your organization’s hidden growth opportunities.
