SUMMARY


The organization is seeking a consultant to guide the development of a comprehensive, actionable strategic plan. The engagement will cover stakeholder vision setting, research and evaluation, community engagement, implementation planning, and outcome measurement.

DESCRIPTION


The organization seeks a strategic planning consultant to recommend the most effective process for developing a strategic plan. The anticipated work will include vision and goal setting, research and evaluation, and creation of the strategic plan and statement of work.

The vision and goal-setting stage will focus on building consensus among agency leaders and staff to establish a shared strategic planning vision with challenging but attainable tactics. The process should identify opportunities to improve systems and remain aligned with the agency’s current mission and vision.

The consultant will recommend methods for gathering and evaluating relevant data, including potential use of focus groups, surveys, and stakeholder conversations. The engagement should creatively involve current and prospective parents and students, staff, and the broader community.

The final stage will produce an actionable strategic plan serving as a blueprint for future work. It should include an executive summary; shared vision; development process and methodology; goals and objectives; progress strategies and implementation tactics; a timeline; designated individuals and execution responsibilities; and opportunities for measuring outcomes.
