Strategic planning

Fit for purpose, future focused strategic planning to achieve your goals.



Strategic planning is more than just a task to check off a list—it's a vital process for any organisation that wants to grow, adapt, and thrive in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world. A clear, purposeful plan helps ensure your team is aligned, your decisions are focused, and your efforts are driving real impact.

At Woven Collaboration, I support organisations to develop strategic plans that are practical, meaningful, and energising. Each plan is presented as a clear one-page ‘roadmap’—a simple yet powerful tool that guides your next steps while staying rooted in your bigger picture.

A Woven Collaboration strategic plan captures:

  • Your why – The core purpose of your organisation, the driving force behind your work, and the positive change you’re committed to creating.

  • Your vision – A compelling picture of the future you’re working toward, anchoring your long-term direction.

  • Context exploration – A deep dive into your current landscape: the challenges you're facing, the opportunities ahead, and the external trends shaping your environment. This ensures your plan is timely, relevant, and fit for purpose.

  • Steps to success – A focused set of priorities and initiatives that guide where to direct time, energy, and resources to move toward your vision.

  • Success measures – Practical ways to track progress, evaluate impact, and clearly communicate the difference you're making to your stakeholders.

One of the most powerful aspects of this process is the opportunity it creates for connection and alignment. Co-designing your strategic plan together helps grow a united commitment to action. When people are part of shaping the future, they feel ownership—they have ‘skin in the game’. This shared clarity and buy-in leads to stronger collaboration and a more engaged team, working with purpose toward a common goal.

My facilitation style is flexible, inclusive, and grounded in real-world experience. I tailor each process to reflect the unique culture, needs, and goals of your organisation—whether you're a small team refining your direction or a larger entity navigating complexity and change.

Let’s talk about what you need and how I can help you craft a strategic plan that inspires action, builds alignment, and moves your mission forward.
