We offer strategic facilitation services designed to foster collaboration, build consensus, and drive actionable and impactful recommendations that advance sustainability planning and programs.
We design and facilitate complex, equity-centered planning processes, generating alignment around common goals and identifying paths to successfully implement sustainability policies, projects, and plans. With over a decade of experience shepherding large, complex—and often contentious—working groups through planning processes, we understand how to combine different tools and techniques to get participants to coalesce around a shared vision and develop broadly-supported policies and programs.
We work to build trust up front, lead groups toward clear decision points, and lighten the mood with humor when we need to—all while keeping our client’s timelines and required outcomes top of mind. Our facilitation team ensures that clients’ plans and programs are not only well-informed and practical but also rooted in the collective wisdom and priorities of the communities and organizations they serve.
Examples of our support include:
- Technical/advisory committee facilitation
- Participatory planning and consensus-building with clearly defined goals/outcomes/outputs and associated steps to get there (answering the who/what/when/how)
- Organizational strategic planning facilitation
- Stakeholder interviews, focus groups, large group facilitated discussions
