Community-Centered Strategic Planning for Moments of Change
Because a plan that isn’t used . . . isn’t a plan at all.
Does this all feel like a little too much at once? The Blitz package might be your move.
What is PivotPoint Strategy?
PivotPoint Strategy© helps mission-driven organizations clarify direction, align people, and turn important decisions into action through a community-centered, design-informed, results-driven planning process.
​
When your organization is preparing for change, navigating change, or trying to decide what comes next, PivotPoint Strategy© helps bring the right voices, questions, and choices into focus.
What Makes PivotPoint Strategy different from every other strategic plan?
PivotPoint Strategy© is not a board retreat that becomes a report.
It is a community-centered, design-informed, results-driven planning process that helps mission-driven organizations make better decisions about what comes next.
​
The process is built around three commitments:
​
Community-Centered
The people closest to the work should help shape the direction of the organization.
​
PivotPoint Strategy© creates meaningful ways for board members, staff, leadership, partners, and community voices to be heard. Not every voice has to be in every meeting, but every important perspective should have a way into the process.
​
This helps organizations build plans that reflect lived experience, community need, organizational reality, and shared commitment.
​
Design-Informed
Good strategy is not created by filling in a template.
PivotPoint Strategy© uses thoughtful process design to help groups move from information to insight, from ideas to choices, and from choices to action.
​
The process is structured enough to keep the work moving and flexible enough to meet the organization where it is.
​
Results-Driven
A strategic plan should lead to decisions, priorities, and action.
PivotPoint Strategy© helps organizations leave with clear strategic priorities, practical next steps, shared language, and a plan that can guide implementation.
​
Yes, the final plan should be beautiful. It should also be used.
