WE’RE STAR INSIGHTS

We’ve helped organizations just like yours create more meaningful change — inside their organizations and out.

We act as thought partners and sounding boards for our clients, helping them think through the most complex and complicated issues facing their organizations — issues that permeate multiple aspects of their organizations, divide their focus, and thwart their ability to create meaningful change in the lives of others.

WE BELIEVE…

When You Support Leaders In The Social Impact Space, Everyone Benefits

If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, You Certainly Won’t Know How To Get There

Divided Focus Creates
Diminished Impact

Great leaders create real change in the world by setting a clear vision, developing strategic priorities, and creating actionable plans. When these leaders are supported, they create deeper, more impactful, and lasting change in their communities and the world around them.

It’s a cliché, but it’s true. Maximizing your impact isn’t about doing more work — it’s about taking the time to do the right work, laying a foundation for success by getting clear on your vision, mission, goals, and priorities.

Too much attention directed to internal and organizational problems is attention that’s not being spent achieving your organization’s mission. Solving these problems frees up your leadership team to focus on the bigger picture strategy elements of bringing your vision to life.

LA Civil Rights logo

“It was very important that we worked with an agency that not only understood strategic planning, but also understood branding and messaging and, quite frankly, had a grasp on government and in particular the City of Los Angeles. Because we could create the most extravagant strategic plan – but if that strategic plan cannot be implemented, then it’s absolutely useless.”

Joumana Silyan-Saba
Director of Policy and Enforcement,
City of Los Angeles Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department

“I’ve done lots of strategic plans and I’ve worked with lots of consultants. Star Insights did an exceptional job working with our volunteer leadership and providing us the structure and the framework to really develop a robust plan that helps set our course and direction in the future. And they did it in a way and that was very collaborative. It was not telling us what to do, but it was leading us to think for ourselves.”

David Eads
CEO,
Tournament of Roses

LET’S CO-CREATE TOGETHER

Together, we’ll help you find the path forward.

Technology Agency Strategic PlanWA Technology Solutions (WaTech)
Olympia, WA

Star Insights partnered with WaTech, the State of Washington’s lead IT agency, to create a three-year strategic plan (2024-2026).

Star Insights and WaTech senior leadership developed and approved an iterative planning process rooted in co-creation. We crafted an inclusive framework to engage critical interested parties through highly interactive workshops and an agency-wide survey. This plan created a future vision for the agency around three goals:

  • Enable Customer Success Through Service Delivery.
  • Learn Together. Build Together. Server Together.
  • Statewide Technology Leadership.

Through our approach, WaTech refined a commitment to serve through a new mission, vision, and set of values that emphasized their role to provide strategic technology leadership and influence how government services are delivered.

Enterprise IT Strategic PlanLos Angeles County
Los Angeles, CA

Our Division Lead was the Strategic Advisor in creating Los Angeles County’s first Enterprise IT Strategic Plan (2018-2023).

This pioneering strategic plan was created in collaboration with and departments and 200+ business and technology leaders and included five strategic goals:

  1. Digital Civic Engagement
  2. Mobility
  3. Data as a Utility
  4. Workforce Empowerment
  5. Transform Procurement

In addition to co-creating the plan, goal teams were launched to support moving from a plan to action, where these department driven teams created objectives, measures, and initiatives that were the foundation for work across a five-year period.

Enterprise IT Strategic PlanState of Washington
Olympia, WA

Star Insights partnered with the State of Washington’s lead technology agency, Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech), to create an Enterprise IT Strategic Plan (2023-2025) for over 100+ state agencies.

This inclusive and collaborative approach involved business leaders, and IT representatives from state agencies, ensuring that all voices were heard. Together, we designed an inclusive framework to engage essential interested parties through existing governance and interactive workshops to generate ideas and recommendations for the plan. Representing agency priorities, the plan emphasizes residents and their experience with government services:

  • Create a government experience that leaves no community behind.
  • Better data, better decisions, better government, better Washington.
  • Innovative technology solutions create a better Washington.
  • Transform how we work. Best workforce ever.

With a focus on action, leading up to the approval of this plan, we established "Goal Teams" consisting of the agency business and IT leaders to deliver on priorities and initiatives connected to the plan.
