ENV’s approach to strategy
Creating with clients: We establish close partnerships with our clients to capitalize on their expertise and create custom plans based on their unique capacity, values, and culture. It is essential that we create a positive and stimulating experience for clients, using our time together to generate insights.
Well-versed at facilitation: We employ a rigorous approach to analysis. Yet patterns and insights alone do not produce collaborative decision-making. We believe that skillful facilitation encourages stakeholders to articulate their visions. Our experts bring facilitation skills, using innovative techniques to engage people at all levels of the system and enable joint decision-making.
Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI): Our commitment to DEI profiles the questions we ask, the way we analyze data, how we engage with individuals and groups, and the recommendations we make on strategy and partnerships.
Systems change perspective: We recognize that social change requires systems change. We analyze issues from a systems perspective, searching for connections and patterns, looking deeply in context, and incorporating multiple perspectives into our effort.
Connecting strategy and evaluation: We believe that continuous monitoring, learning, and evaluation through questions on the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact of a strategy should inform strategic decision-making.
