Strategic Consulting
Stakeholder maps, scenario tests, and strategic plans that agency and institutional leaders can act on.
We map the stakeholders, review the policy and regulation, and test each option before recommending one. For California state and municipal agencies, that work produced policy research and recommendations the agencies adopted. Each plan accounts for the political, operational, and institutional constraints the client works within.
Services & deliverables
Strategic planning & roadmapping
We turn research findings and leadership priorities into a written plan and a phased roadmap with milestones, owners, and decision points.
Stakeholder analysis & mapping
We identify who has influence over an initiative, what each group needs, and where interests conflict, summarized in a working stakeholder map.
Organizational assessment
We review structure, workflows, and capacity through staff interviews and document review, then report strengths, gaps, and practical steps to close them.
Policy & regulatory analysis
We analyze the laws, regulations, and pending policy that bear on a client's work and explain what they require and allow.
Market & competitive analysis
We research the organizations, offerings, and audiences in a client's field to show where there is room to compete or collaborate.
Scenario planning
We build plausible scenarios around key uncertainties and test how each strategic option would hold up if conditions change.
Executive advisory
We advise leaders directly on pending decisions, preparing briefings and recommendations that draw on the engagement's research and stakeholder input.
Facilitated workshops
We plan and lead working sessions where stakeholders work through decisions together, then document outcomes and next steps.
