Strategy
Strategic planning can be incredibly powerful — if done right.
“Greg recently facilitated a strategic planning process for our Board, and he was fantastic. He took the time to get to know our organization and our Board members and senior staff personally. Then was able to successfully apply that to help us accomplish our goals. He was incredibly engaged and thoughtful, and produced great discussion and ultimately an outcome we are all very proud of.”

Strategic Planning with Purpose
Strategic planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. At Nielsen Training & Consulting, we believe it can be energizing, clarifying, and inspiring for your entire organization.
Your vision is your North Star—the future you’re striving toward. A bold strategic plan is the roadmap that helps you get there. Done well, it aligns priorities, measures progress, and engages your board, staff, volunteers, and community in bold new possibilities.
We use the Finding Your North Star™ process, developed by Civitas Strategies, to guide organizations through planning that sticks. Our approach focuses on five essentials:
Principles of Design
Goal-Setting
Metrics of Success
Strategy Design
Action Planning
Every engagement is tailored to your needs. We can facilitate sessions on-site or offsite, help design your action plan, and capture your progress in accessible ways. Some clients prefer us to walk alongside them every step of the way; others use our coaching and tools to lead the process themselves.
We also offer organizational assessments, internal evaluations, and board/staff coaching to bring clarity and perspective. Most importantly, we provide an independent, experienced voice to help your team craft strategy that drives real impact.
