Strategic Planning

The VESTEDin™ Difference

MULTI-OUTCOME BACKCASTING APPROACH

Our facilitation orchestrates an inclusive journey where stakeholders envision three possible futures—best-case, most-likely, and contingency scenarios—then work backward to identify common actions that succeed across all pathways. This resilience-building process:

Captures vital insights from across your ecosystem—board members, staff, clients, community partners, collaborators, and funders
Articulates a compelling North Star vision that transcends immediate challenges
Maps milestone progressions that connect today's actions to tomorrow's impact
Develops contingency-ready implementation steps with clear ownership, timelines, and resource alignment
Establishes adaptive monitoring mechanisms that track progress while anticipating pivots

We excel at shifting conversations from "what's broken" to "what's building," ensuring strategies simultaneously inspire transformation and provide practical guidance for daily decisions. The result is not merely a document but a strategic readiness that builds collective ownership and enthusiasm for multiple futures.

50/50 Planning-Execution Balance

Unlike conventional approaches that focus on planning, we dedicate equal attention to execution strategy, recognizing that even brilliant visions require robust implementation systems and contingency planning.

Strategic Resilience Framework

We develop customized tracking mechanisms that monitor progress toward your North Star while maintaining flexibility to activate alternative strategies when circumstances shift.

Three Months of Complimentary Capacity Coaching

Every strategic planning engagement includes three months of follow-up coaching to ensure steady progress through early implementation milestones and strategic pivots.
