Strategic planning

Strategic planning

Clear, practical strategic planning support for not-for-profits, boards, and leadership teams. 

Strategic planning helps not-for-profit organisations, boards, and leadership teams stay focused, work together, and navigate change with purpose. A clear plan gives everyone the confidence and direction to make decisions, set priorities, and take action.

At Woven Collaboration, we support you to design practical, meaningful plans that are easy to understand—and even easier to use. 

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

How we get there:

Over a full day or two half day sessions we guide you through a process specifically designed for not for profit and voluntary boards and organisations to create a clear, relevant and achievable strategic plan. No jargon or unnecessary fluff. 

Strategic planning should feel energising—not exhausting. We create a collaborative, inclusive space where people can think clearly, share ideas, and make decisions together. 

The sessions are interactive, lively, creative, and engaging. We believe strategic planning doesn't have to be boring to get results! . 

Whether you’re:

  • a board wanting to set direction,

  • a leadership team refreshing your focus, or

  • a community organisation planning for impact,

… we'll help you create a strategic plan that reflects your values and moves your mission forward. 

We also provide a range of other services to compliment and strengthen your strategic journey.
