Strategic Planning, Program Evaluation, Organizational Development, Leadership Coaching, and Strategy Design
The Strategy Group's consultants have decades of experience helping organizations expand their capacity and sharpen their strategic focus through strategic planning, program evaluation, theory of change, organizational development and learning systems design, implementing learning communities or Communities of Practice, and designing and implementing organizational and community capacity building plans. Foundations, as learning organizations, considering participatory grantmaking, can be guided by experienced former foundation leaders who understand the challenges philanthropy faces when trying to adopt a new ethos and processes to empower communities and move decision making to the community-level.
