Strategic Planning Package

If your mission is the finish line, how do you know for sure that your organization’s day-to-day work is moving you in the right direction? The answer is strategic planning.

Strategic planning is the process that gets you to a living document (your strategic plan) that helps your organization make decisions every day. Each strategic planning process needs to be custom tailored to each organization and take into account your team’s resources and goals. It can range from the very simple to the very complex, depending on where your organization is at in this moment of time.

Let me help your leadership team understand and tackle this often overwhelming process and help you find a process and plan that fits you perfectly.

Customize your experience:

  • Choose your service model (one-time meeting, group retreats, OR workshop + ongoing retainer model)

  • Learn the fundamentals of what strategic planning is and how to begin this work at your organization

“We engaged RPN Strategies to guide us through strategic plan development. From start to finish, this process has been inclusive, collaborative, and inspiring. The resulting plan is innovative and forward-thinking, while also being realistic and goal-focused. All of our stakeholders, including our staff, our Board, and our partners, felt heard and valued during the process and are ready to implement our exciting plan!

Meeting Facilitation

Important meetings require special attention. Whether it’s considering something new (like a new mission statement, new program, or other major change to your work), or working to resolve a long-standing issue that has remained stagnant, having an impartial, outside facilitator can be a huge help.

Not only can I help design an agenda that ensures your meeting goals are met, but I can help identify priorities, create and distribute meeting materials, set context, and even provide post-meeting recommendations and next steps.

Let me help you make sure your next meeting is productive!

This service is ideal for things like board or staff meetings, annual meetings, quarterly team meetings, or mediation meetings and can be customized to your specific situation.

What to expect:

  • I’ll meet with you to understand the meeting’s goals and history

  • I’ll help you create an agenda

  • I’ll complete any pre-work you need done to ensure the day-of goes smoothly (example: pre-meeting interviews with stakeholders, creating and sending materials to the team in advance, setting context for your staff, etc)

  • I’ll attend and run the meeting, allowing your team to fully participate without needing to manage logistics or timing

  • I’ll send out meeting notes, to-dos, and next steps

“Last week’s meeting went so well, I am incredibly grateful for your awesome facilitation skills and for leading such an important meeting during a time of a lot of challenging team dynamics. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it went and that everyone had really respectful communication with one another, it was very encouraging to see. I received lots of positive feedback about the meeting and that it helped folks feel united again..

“Rebecca was extremely patient, listened carefully and intentionally, and used what the group said to help move us toward a common goal. She was thoughtful about curating a session that felt safe for all parties, and was able to gently hold people accountable. She followed up in a timely manner with resources, notes from the session, and next steps that we’d strategized together. Our team was so grateful for her expert facilitation skills!
