Promoting vitality and growth in mission-driven organizations

Approach
We begin by listening carefully to how prospective clients talk about their current situation and future aspirations. We design proposals for working together based on what they tell and show us, identifying explicit outcomes while also allowing for flexibility in responding to new discoveries and emergent needs.

Our Values and Premises
The consultants who comprise the Strategies for Change network share basic principles that guide our work. We start from these premises:
  • Change is continual, for organizations, individuals and communities;
  • Solutions to challenges exist and can be found within each organization (or system);
  • Including diverse voices into a change process enriches everyone’s understanding and opens up previously unimagined possibilities;
  • Openness and willingness to learn from others and one’s own experience are essential components for successfully navigating change.
Our approach to working with clients unfolds naturally from these starting points. We are collaborative, focused on identifying and building on clients' strengths, and highly flexible. Every client benefits from our personal, customized attention and our commitment to sharing our knowledge. Click below to learn more about how we work with clients.

How Strategies for Change Works with Clients

One of our reasons for working with Strategies for Change is their ability to work across cultural boundaries. Anne easily moves among diverse constituencies and helps to bring people together... She always starts with listening. She hears our concerns, our frustrations, our hopes and our goals. In turn, she asks probing and thoughtful questions, and then she listens again. Throughout the years of working with Strategies for Change we have felt them to be partners.
