A short, focused engagement to clarify priorities, surface constraints, and determine the right path forward—before committing to deeper work.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Clear objectives and success criteria

  • Prioritized initiatives based on impact and readiness

  • Alignment between vision, capacity, and focus

  • A clear recommendation on next steps

Strategic Clarity Diagnostic

What We Will Do

The Strategic Clarity Diagnostic is a short, fixed-fee engagement designed to help leaders pause, assess, and make confident decisions about what matters most right now.

It is not a full strategic plan. It is a decision-making reset—built to create clarity before you invest significant time, money, or organizational energy.

This engagement is especially useful when:

  • Priorities feel unclear or competing

  • The organization is at an inflection point

  • Leaders sense misalignment between vision and capacity

  • “Doing more” no longer feels like the answer

  • During the Diagnostic, we work together to:

    • Clarify objectives and define what success actually looks like

    • Surface constraints, risks, and capability gaps

    • Assess readiness across people, processes, and systems

    • Prioritize initiatives based on impact and feasibility

    This work is grounded in your current reality—not aspirational planning divorced from capacity.

  • At the conclusion of the engagement, you can expect:

    • Clear articulation of near-term priorities

    • Alignment between vision, resources, and focus

    • A realistic path forward based on organizational readiness

    • A candid recommendation on whether—and how—to proceed

    Many clients use this as a confidence-building step before engaging in deeper project or fractional work.

  • This engagement works well for:

    • Founders navigating growth, change, or complexity

    • Executive Directors and nonprofit leaders balancing mission and capacity

    • Leadership teams preparing for a major decision, transition, or investment

    If you are unsure what kind of support you need, this is often the right place to start.

  • At the end of the Diagnostic, you’ll have a clear recommendation—no pressure, no assumption of further engagement.

    If deeper support is warranted, next steps may include:

    • A defined project with a clear statement of work

    • An ongoing fractional partnership

    • Or internal execution without external support
