We answer questions like
- What’s the best way to design a strategy from scratch?
- Are our long, medium and short-term outcomes achievable?
- How do we decide what our strategic priorities are?
- Once we’ve designed our strategy, how do we deliver and monitor it?
How it works
We understand the important aspects of your organisation and plan our workshops strategically, often interviewing participants beforehand. We co-design the plan with you to ensure there are no surprises.
On the day, we facilitate with a two-person team. One facilitator creates outputs on the spot so participants can see the strategy developing. The other guides discussions and challenges participants.
Then, we deliver practical infographic strategic frameworks and plans that are easy to read and help you secure mandates, align teams and guide future decisions.
What this helps you do

Why us?
We specialise in creating strategies with measurable outcomes and use people and behaviour research methods in our preparation and facilitation, to provide you with useful data. Our conflict resolution and mediation skills mean we help you agree on a way forward by challenging people to resolve issues, envision a united future and reach a consensus.
There is always a risk that even a well-designed strategy won't be used. We identify barriers to implementation and provide recommendations for using and reviewing the strategy.

“Some would say that to build a meaningful strategy within four hours is impossible with twenty-two different voices in the room. For some yes, but for Dana no. Dana delivered a strategy which is delivering to its milestones and outcomes.”
