Client-Centred Strategy
You have a vision for the future of your organisation that'll really make a difference in the lives of the people you support, but instead of working on the steps that will take you forward, lack of alignment has people working on a range of ‘urgent’ tasks instead of making progress on the initiatives that will have the greatest impact.
The foundation of the direction of your organisation is your strategy. Strategy touches every employee and your clients, and is an actionable way to achieve the difference you are looking to make. If you want to be a person-centred organisation that collaborates to meet the changing needs of your clients, then your strategy also needs a collaborative approach.
Co-creating your strategy will ensure that you have effectively incorporated the needs of the people you support and provide them with the opportunity to have meaningful input into your strategic direction.

It is often co-created with the people that use your services, people with lived experience and other important stakeholders.
