Strategy & Planning

Pact's strategy and planning services have been shaped by work with hundreds of non-profit organizations in formulating strategy. We provide a practical strategic framework and user-friendly tools and techniques that adapt current private sector approaches to the nonprofit context. Without being either overly complex or unduly simplistic, the CBSG strategy and planning services help organizations clarify mission and vision, develop core competencies, identify value and differentiation, and develop strategy grounded in constituent needs.

Supporting the development of strategic partnerships is a cornerstone of our strategy and planning services. We work closely with our clients to thoroughly understand needs and identify strategic partnerships to ensure results-driven performance improvement. Through our extended international network of high-quality service providers and social development organizations, Pact is able to be a single point of contact for partnership and alliance-brokering.
