Fio Partners

Strategic Planning Services

We support organizations in acquiring and improving their capacity for strategic management, a continuous process of adjusting to the world you are in through time. Fio Partners frames its process around four key tasks: (1) agreement on vision, mission, values; (2) designing or redesigning your organization’s core of programs and relationships; (3) safeguarding and supporting the core through the adjustment of key management systems; and, (4) improving the core via organizational learning and quality assurance. Our approach stresses:

• Building a shared and objective base of information between board and executive staff as the foundation for strategic planning;
• Assessing an organization’s strengths and weaknesses with data rather than perception;
• Understanding how your organization’s stage of development influences management tasks;
• Tying together what you want to do and the supports for how you will get it done;
• Managing key relationships with national and local organizations that provide similar and allied services;
• Determining critical key results;
• Integrating information management so your organization can learn from your own practice and continuously improve over time.

Our strategic planning processes typically last between four and 8 months and can engage a variety of stakeholders - from Board members to consumers to community leaders.  We will work with to develop a strategic plan with appropriate input from all of your stakeholders.
