WORK EXAMPLES
Initiative Foundation
Strategic framework and long-term visioning. Worked with staff and Board of Trustees of the Initiative Foundation to refine and update their strategic framework, and codify a set of long-term values and projections to guide their future actions. The work was done through in-depth surveying, one-on-one stakeholder interviews, financial review and projections, and an iterative process.
Salzburg Global Seminar
Values articulation facilitation. Led an engaged, multi-dimensional process for an international nonprofit with a social enterprise hotel to uncover and articulate shared practical and aspirational values. These values have been deployed across the organization and with the board to advance the global vision of the organization.
Minneapolis Public Schools
Advisory committee facilitation. Worked with an appointed committee of advisors to review MPS facility names through the district’s equity framework, involving survey design and analysis, historical research, and synthesizing community input for a report submitted to the MPS Board. All three facilities of the priority recommendations have changed or are in the process of changing their names now.
