___Our Inclusive Approach to Strategic Action helps clients build social capital and relationships as they take big leaps on complex strategic issues.
We Activate Whole Systems Thinking for a variety of purposes.
Strategic Planning. Organizations and communities have used our approach for creating a shared vision, strategic goals and roadmaps for action. This work includes the custom design and facilitation of large group, whole system strategic planning sessions and leadership consultation and coaching. Communities, educational systems, foundations, and non-profit organizations have benefited from this approach.
Redesign. Whole system summits have been used to understand stakeholder needs, assess current processes and structures, identify future aspirations and develop new ways of delivering services. This approach was used to redesign the patient care delivery process in a multi-site healthcare system, to decide on a new schedule/structure for junior highs in a school district, and to engage employees in the redesign of the supply chain in a utility company.
Addressing strategic issues. We custom design and facilitate critical, cross boundary meetings to address complex, strategic issues. Our services have been used for such things as regional planning for tobacco control, repositioning a non-profit in its community, managing rapid organizational growth and building leadership capacity across organizations.
We offer Workshops and Seminars related to two broad topics:
We periodically have public offerings. We also tailor the content of our workshops to meet specific client needs.
Shadow Consulting has been evolving over the past five years. It centers around our interest and expertise in designing and managing large group, task oriented meetings.

_"Nancy has an amazing understanding of design flow, transitions, and how to structure and order activities to get to the desired purpose or goal, while maximizing engagement and participation. She can formulate a question like nobody else. She is a phenomenal listener, never judges, is always positive, sees the many possibilities and is very funny and fun to work with."
