FAQS
-
Strategic planning is not a one-and-done process—it’s a living roadmap for keeping your organization aligned with its mission.
Because we don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions to complex organizational challenges, pricing varies depending on your organization’s needs. Strategic planning can range from $4,000 for a refresher plan to $50,000 for comprehensive plans including stakeholder feedback, implementation, and evaluation services.
The cost depends on factors like…
The size of your organization
How much stakeholder input is required
Unanticipated challenges that arise
To get started, we always begin with a free Discovery Conversation to explore your needs and ensure we’re the right partners for your journey toward sustainable growth.
-
We offer both in-person and virtual options, depending on the service and your needs. For strategic planning, we highly recommend in-person sessions for the retreat portion, as face-to-face collaboration fosters deeper connections, relationship-building, and more impactful discussions. Certain components, like interviews and focus groups, can be done virtually.
For coaching, individual clients often prefer virtual sessions for convenience, though in-person sessions are available. Organizational coaching is more effective in person, but we’ll decide together what works best for your goals.
-
