Thinking

Overview thinking challenges and inspires individuals and project teams to consider elements of their work and context in new ways.

History, environment, attitudes, operations, capacity, relationships brand and culture are all parts of a contextual backdrop that influences positioning and decision-making.

An Overview perspective expands awareness, provides clarity, informs understanding, and creates new touch points for innovation and opportunity.

Facilitation

Using the Strategic Overview as a framework for inquiry and dicovery, I work with individuals and teams to explore issues, values, assumptions, relationships, subject-area content, approaches, core competencies, outcomes and impact. Together we create a comprehensive but concise Overview of the current state scenario.

This dialogue download yields shared clarity, insight, energy and camaraderie -- it gets everybody "on the same page."

Any concept, idea, product, process, profile or organizational structure can be articulated using the Overview model.

Recent applications include nonprofit initiatives in the arts; education; community and economic development; start-up organizations, creative and innovative exploration; and personal and professional development.

Writing

As a foundation for written communications, the Overview Platform sets up key information, perspectives and relationships in a clear, accessible, one-page format.

Information and insights can be directly developed into content for brand messaging, project development briefs, strategic plans, organizational communications and fund development materials.

The multi-functional one-page Strategic Overview Platform document can be used with internal or external audiences to focus thinking, facilitate discussion, as talking points, or in a presentation, marketing packet or grant proposal.
