Do you write the city's strategic plan for us?

No. We facilitate; we don't write your strategy for you. Your leadership makes the decisions, and you leave with a board-ready strategic plan with priorities, owners, and leading indicators.

How long does municipal strategic planning take?

Building the strategic plan takes 2 to 3 months, through a facilitated arc of two to four sessions. The full journey, from plan through activation and governance, typically runs 90 days to 9 months, depending on the size of the change. Activation sprints run 21–30 days, and governance reviews continue on a monthly or quarterly cadence.

How does the plan stay on track after it's adopted?

Every priority has a named owner and leading indicators, reviewed on a monthly or quarterly governance cadence. Cities can track the plan publicly with StrategyHub™ for cities.

Do you work on-site, and what does it cost?

Engagements can be remote, on-site, or hybrid; alignment sessions are typically on-site. We're based in Coral Gables, in South Florida, and serve clients around the country. Pricing is scoped on the first call.
