Real capacity to get the plan off the ground.
A strategic plan only matters if it gets done. Implementation Support is a focused 3–6 month follow-on to a strategic plan. We bring real capacity to launch it: project management, hands-on work on the key pieces, leadership coaching, and the funder-facing materials to pay for it.
NorthStar provides hands-on implementation support that helps organizations stay focused, move work forward, and build the internal systems needed to sustain results, long after our partnership ends.
Project management capacity.
We provide the initial project management to launch the strategic plan, coordinating across teams and translating priorities into concrete, sequenced workplans.
Hands-on execution.
We bring real capacity to implement key elements of the plan, with clear roles and accountability, so momentum doesn’t stall after the plan is done.
ED & C-team coaching.
We coach the executive and leadership team, establishing the meeting rhythms and decision routines that get the plan off the ground.
Funder-facing materials.
We develop the pitch decks and funder-facing materials to raise the money that funds the plan.
Communications & launch support.
We shape the messaging and rollout to launch the strategic plan, including regular progress updates to staff and the board.
A scoped, time-bound engagement.
