Are your services achieving the impact they should? I bring a social impact and equity lens to your programs and services to help you confidently answer that question with data and evidence.

We will define the purpose, desired impacts and processes in a service, help focus efforts where they are most effective, and build tools for your organization to achieve, measure and communicate impact.

Take stock of your organization’s current state, understand the broader landscape and engage key groups. Working together, we will develop a tightly focused strategy, with specific actions, measures and outcomes to guide your efforts over the coming years.

My goal is to make the strategic planning process energizing, clear, and effective, and ensure that equity and impact are at its centre. Depending on your needs, I customize my approach from DIY supports to a fully managed planning process.

Considering changes to your library facility? A library space needs assessment will clarify your needs, answer the big questions, and identify the path forward. Undertaking a needs assessment before engaging an architect, designer or construction company will save you time and money. Along the way it will identify practical cost-effective changes you can make in the immediate term.

Each needs assessment is tailored to your library’s needs. Together, we can engage your community, partners, staff, and board; benchmark your facility against established standards and a cohort of similar libraries; and build support from your funders. As needed, I collaborate with architects, design professionals, and fundraising strategists to ensure you get the information you need to move forward with confidence.
