Strategy & Planning
Strategic thinking is one of Heather’s greatest strengths, and she is especially skilled at helping organizations gather, identify, and articulate their unique stories, propositions, and future aspirations. Heather believes each strategic planning project is unique. Working with her, you will leave templates and stock methodologies behind and engage simultaneously with your organization’s artistic and economic lives and culture in new, creative ways. In the process, your entire staff gains perspective about themselves and how your nonprofit organization can connect with your audiences meaningfully, purposefully, and sustainably.
Heather developed a novel conceptual framework with a colleague from NYU that can guide strategic planning at any nonprofit arts institution.
