Clarify Your Vision.
Strengthen Your Impact.
Strategic plans don’t sit on shelves — when they’re built right, they move people and organizations forward.
They are the ultimate guide.
Whether you’re a nonprofit or congregation, our process helps you listen deeply, align your team, and create a shared roadmap that turns vision into measurable action.
Too Many Plans Fail Because They Don’t Build Ownership
You’ve seen it before — a plan full of good ideas, but no one feels responsible for them. Or a plan that’s written once and forgotten when real life gets busy.
Our approach is different.
We guide your board, staff, and key stakeholders through a process that listens first, defines what matters most, and builds buy-in from day one. When everyone helps create the plan, everyone owns it — and that’s what makes it work.
Our process blends the best of nonprofit and faith-based strategic thinking with practical, measurable steps for implementation.
We help you:
Listen to your people, partners, and community to understand needs and opportunities.
Align your mission, vision, and core values so everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Act with clarity through actionable goals, timelines, and accountability measures.
At the end, you’ll have more than a document — you’ll have a shared vision your team believes in and a plan they know how to execute.
The GSB Approach: Listen. Align. Act.
What the Process Looks Like:
A typical plan takes 6–9 months and includes:
✔ Launch Session: Board or leadership meeting to define purpose and process.
✔ Committee Selection: A diverse planning team representing staff, board, and community.
✔ Listening Phase: Confidential interviews and surveys with key stakeholders to uncover insights, strengths, and needs.
✔ Vision Workshops: Facilitated sessions to shape your mission, vision, and core values.
✔ Goal Setting & Strategy Design: Identification of measurable goals, strategies, and action steps.
✔ Final Plan Delivery & Training: Internal and external plan tools, board training, and implementation guidance.
✔ Quarterly Check-Ins: Ongoing accountability to keep progress on track.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of our work together, you’ll have:
A clear and inspiring mission, vision, and core values.
Defined goals, strategies, and measurable action steps.
An implementation timeline with ownership, costs, and funding metrics.
A plan designed for both internal accountability and external communication.
A board trained in best-practice governance and strategic leadership.
You’ll leave with a plan your people can use — not one they’ll ignore.
