Planning That
Inspires Action

Strategic plans should motivate, engage and inspire. At Incite, we work with our clients to craft strategic plans that provide clear direction, strategy, action and execution.

While strategic plans should be ambitious, they also need to be realistic. This means making tough decisions about prioritizing objectives to meet organizational goals within the ideal timeline.

We support organizations by providing the right set of planning tools, facilitation skills and best practices to encourage boards, staff and stakeholders engage meaningfully in the process, and champion the resulting plan to ensure successful implementation of priorities and initiatives.

We understand that the right mix of preparation, facilitation and collaboration are key to delivering a strategic plan that inspires action.

Incite’s history working with business-to-business organizations and non-profits across Alberta communities lends itself to a deep understanding of the nuances related to partnerships between non-profits and businesses as well as boards and leadership teams, whether that means governance considerations, executive-board dynamics or funding models.

”The ultimate benefit of our partnership with Incite over the years is their role as a trusted advisor. Not only do they challenge us during annual strategic planning sessions but our quarterly accountability meetings do just that: they hold us responsible for our actions. With their help, we make the hard decisions about our strategic priorities and their collaboration helps us make good on our objectives through the year.

”Incite came to us at a critical juncture for our organization. Their skills navigating a large multi-stakeholder group produced a comprehensive plan during our in-person sessions with the board. The benefit of an outside perspective to serve as a sounding board helped us make final decisions that both align with our long-term vision and remain realistic and actionable with our current capacity and resources. So much so that we have worked with them again since the initial session to further refine the strategic plan and define organizational values.
