LISTENING & STRATEGIC PLANNING
Strategic Planning Rooted in Listening
We believe strong strategy starts with listening. Our strategic planning services are designed to reflect the voices of the communities and stakeholders you serve—not just the priorities written on paper.
Coaction Collective guides our partners through a design process that begins with deep listening to draw out the stories and strengths of a community. We build on this listening to support our partners in defining opportunities for bridge-building and co-design inclusive solutions, focusing on marginalized voices and their stories.
From school districts and state agencies to nonprofit coalitions, we’ve helped partners clarify their vision, define clear paths forward, and move from ideas to implementation. We don’t just write plans—we build momentum around shared purpose and create the tools and structures that help organizations stay focused and responsive over time.
What Our Work Looks Like in Practice
Every project we take on is tailored to the unique goals, timeline, and context of our partners. While no two scopes are exactly the same, this sample gives a sense of how we structure our work—blending strategic planning, facilitation, and capacity building with a deep commitment to community voice.
