Team building

A powerful team is the most important resource an organization has. Diane Douglas Consulting will help you build a culture of leadership where roles and responsibilities are clear, communications strong, and team members thrive in a culture of trust, mutual appreciation and accountability.

Strategy and planning

Your strategy is the North Star that guides you on the path to success. Strategy is grounded in a clearly defined organizational purpose, mission and values. We’ll help you define or refine them and create strategic priorities that marry your organization’s dreams with a clear-headed forecast of capacities and resources.

Program Design

You have a great idea. Now how do you make it real? We’ll help you assess community need, competition and resources, and plan your timing, funding, production and communications to bring it to life. We’ll help you scale your promising pilot into a sustainable signature.

Funding

Fiscal health depends on a diverse and balanced mix of funding sources. We’ll help you construct an achievable funding plan for operating needs, stretch goals, special campaigns, growth and sustainability. 

Facilitation

From executive briefings to planning retreats, and from focus groups to public programs, the best convenings are meticulously crafted to maximize participants’ precious time, trust and insights. We’ll design and facilitate gatherings that inspire, open lines of communication, target results, build consensus and forge commitment to your organizational goals.
