Strategy that is responsive, collaborative, and impactful.
At WithIn, we design strategic planning processes that engage internal and external stakeholders, assess your team’s strengths, and align with community needs and trends. This approach builds relationships, responds to current events, and ensures all voices are heard—even before the strategic plan is sent to the printer.


Strategic planning that’s collaborative and built for impact.
WithIn designs and stewards strategic planning processes that are inclusive, practical, and rooted in your values. We help you align staff, board, and community partners around a shared vision—and begin turning that vision into action.
Past client partners include:
- Community Foundation for San Joaquin: Within worked with staff, board and community stakeholders to develop and launch a new strategic plan rooted in shared values and local impact strategies.
- Solidaire Network: WithIn partnered with staff and board to mobilize resources for racial, gender, and climate justice movements.
Leading a group of people with care, thoughtfulness, and humor; with a mindset of growth and learning, and also allowing them to colead. They know how to position themselves and ask the right questions, and they’re just masters at it.
Strategy Coaching: From a napkin to next steps
Strategy Coaching is grounded in a simple conviction: that leaders navigating uncertainty and urgency need tools they can use now, not long strategy processes that demand budget, capacity and time they don’t have.
We work alongside teams, using simple tools drawn from adaptive strategy, scenario planning, and design thinking. The approach centers on building three things simultaneously: clarity about what the current moment demands, alignment across the leadership team about where to focus, and momentum to act with intention rather than just urgency.
This can look like a dedicated strategy reset — or simply weaving strategic thinking into the work you’re already doing. A few sessions can go a long way.
