Strategic planning

Strategic planning

Clear, practical strategic planning support for not-for-profits, boards, and leadership teams. Co-create a roadmap that aligns your team and drives impact.

A good plan isn’t just a document—it’s a shared commitment to what matters most.

Strategic planning helps not-for-profit organisations, boards, and leadership teams stay focused, work together, and navigate change with purpose. Whether you're a grassroots community group or a national agency, a clear plan gives your people the confidence and direction to make decisions, set priorities, and take action.

At Woven Collaboration, I support you to design practical, meaningful plans that are easy to understand—and even easier to use. Each plan is presented as a one-page ‘roadmap’ that brings your vision and goals to life without the waffle.

What you’ll walk away with:

  • Shared clarity about your purpose, direction, and priorities

  • A simple, powerful plan that guides your mahi and keeps your team aligned

  • Buy-in and energy from the people who helped shape it

  • A clear way to measure progress and communicate your impact

The roadmap includes:

  • Your why – What drives your organisation and the change you’re here to make

  • Your vision – A compelling picture of the future you’re working toward

  • Context – Understanding your current challenges, opportunities, and landscape

  • Key priorities – What to focus on to make the biggest difference

  • Success measures – How you’ll know you’re making progress and impact

How we get there:

Strategic planning should feel energising—not exhausting. I create a collaborative, inclusive space where people can think clearly, share ideas, and make decisions together. My approach is flexible, grounded, and always tailored to your team’s size, style, and stage.

Whether you’re:

  • a board wanting to set direction,

  • a leadership team refreshing your focus, or

  • a community organisation planning for impact,

… I’ll help you create a plan that reflects your values and moves your mission forward.

Let’s kōrero. I’d love to hear where you’re at and help you turn your big-picture thinking into practical action.
