Strategic Planning, Management & Communications

Each strategic plan, like each organization we help, is unique. SMCH offers a range of services to fit a variety of needs. This may include working with senior leadership to identify a strategic planning process that works for them, leading board or leadership retreats, and designing tools and activities for outreach.

Using a variety of approaches, we can help you identify and engage key stakeholders, collect and analyze information, and synthesize data to guide you in setting strategic priorities. Understanding that goals are not a plan, we help organizations identify and evaluate a range of strategies that will help them achieve their long-term priorities in ways that match your organization’s culture, resources, and needs.

A clear, consistent, strategic approach to communications builds trust and advances your organization’s mission. Change is the only constant, and being ready for the next communications challenge—large or small—requires a holistic approach to planning and preparation. SMCH works with organizations to help them develop communications plans for a wide range of needs, from well-orchestrated rollouts of new projects to crisis responses. We partner with organizations to develop communications plans and provide training in crisis communications is available for all levels of organizational leadership.
