We Help You Catalyze Ideas, Obtain Buy-in and Build Capacity for Change

Planning for the future of an organization or collaboration is hard work. It takes time. It involves busy people. It generates new ideas. It means change. It is a wonder that it gets done at all. That’s where we come in.

Strategies for Tomorrow helps organizations and executives through the process. We work with organizations, alliances and collaborations to co-create planning processes that catalyze ideas, obtain buy-in, and build organization and cross-organization capacity for change. We stay in the process long enough to make sure that the seeds are planted and the roots begin to develop.

There are good planners that develop solid plans for organizations and collaborations. Often, however, the focus is on the plan itself without thought to the changes that groups must go through for successful implementation. Sometimes this means significant culture changes. Not so with SFT. We ensure that culture change is integral to the planning process.

Also, there are good planners that can help build visionary plans that create momentum and excitement, but the plans lack viable business models and funding strategies. We work with even the most complex collaborations to create sustainable business models that address the often conflicting interests of each participating entity and the collaborative group.

The Strategies for Tomorrow team of consultants has represented a wide variety of organizations serving local, regional, national and global markets. Examples of the types of organizations that we have served:

• the small, creative, high-tech start-up
• the cluster of mid-size organizations serving common clients in the face of dwindling financial resources
• the collaboration organizing across institutional boundaries
• the large organization making changes that blur industry lines
