	We needed something to really help enthuse and re-energize our board. Lewis Kennedy worked with us to design a dynamic and participative program that focused our board energies on donor motivations and asking. I know this will pay big dividends for us in the future. —Mike Drake, Executive Director Willamette Falls Hospital Foundation

Specialized Services

Special services that enlighten and inform

Strategic planning

Many organizations are so focused on their work today that they have little time to think about tomorrow. But long-term strategic planning is vitally important. Besides giving you direction, it helps you improve decision-making, identify and prepare for challenges, design and implement programs, and measure results. We’ll guide you through the process, helping you develop a strategic plan that will carry you far into the future.

Meeting facilitation and presentations

We are often asked to make presentations at national and regional conferences and to facilitate board retreats, strategic planning sessions, and other meetings where the presence of a neutral third party is important.

Special needs and studies

Some of our most exciting work is for organizations trying to strike off in new directions or make significant changes in their operation. We answer questions such as:

We're considering a merger with another organization. What are the risks involved and how do we evaluate them?
We’ve been using the same structure and programs for the last 10 years. How can
we decide if it still makes sense today?

If you’re considering a new venture or have an issue that needs serious study, contact us. We can determine if it’s viable (with candid honesty) and give you the advice and support you need.
