Strategic Planning

Sage Step Consulting leads inclusive, community-centered strategic planning for public agencies, nonprofits, and coalitions—helping teams align around shared goals and turn vision into measurable action.

Collaborative strategies. Community-centered results.

Sage Step Consulting partners with public agencies, libraries, nonprofits, and regional coalitions to lead strategic planning processes that are inclusive, actionable, and grounded in local priorities. From one-day retreats to year-long initiatives, we design and facilitate strategies that clarify vision, align stakeholders, and build momentum for impact.

Our approach emphasizes listening, alignment, and implementation—so your plan becomes a tool for progress, not just a document on a shelf.

Examples of Strategic Planning Projects:

  • Chelan & Douglas Counties Homeless Housing Strategic Plan
    Leading the development of a 5-year strategy to address homelessness, in partnership with local governments, service providers, and community members. This effort follows Washington State Department of Commerce guidance and centers both data and lived experience.

  • NCW Libraries Strategic Direction 2024–2026
    Partnered with NCW Libraries to create a community-driven plan serving 30+ rural and urban branches. The process included multilingual engagement, staff and patron input, and a focus on equitable access and innovation.

  • Our Valley Our Future: Regional Vision and Action Plan
    Supporting Our Valley Our Future in developing an updated Action Plan that reflects broad community input and cross-sector priorities. The project aligns civic, business, nonprofit, and resident voices around shared values and practical next steps for the region’s future.

  • Community-Based Nonprofit and Foundation Planning
    We also work with mission-driven organizations and philanthropic partners to lead strategic planning retreats, conduct stakeholder interviews, and translate insights into clear priorities and action steps.

Whether you're building a multi-year public strategy or aligning your team around a new chapter, Sage Step Consulting helps you lead a planning process that results in measurable, mission-aligned progress.
