OUR FIVE SERVICE AREAS
CREATE A SHARED VISION
Our 5-phase framework is specifically designed to create buy-in throughout each stage of your project, so that everyone is on board with the final plan. Because when your board of directors, your organization, and your community are in agreement on what your mission, vision, values, and priorities are, your ability to create meaningful change is exponentially magnified.
PHASE 1
Preplanning For Success
Our first step is centered on co-creating a plan for success and ensuring all key stakeholders are aligned with the project’s goals. Through a series of conversations, we establish, clarify, and build consensus on who needs to be involved, how decisions will be made, and what success will look like for each project.
PHASE 2
Discovery & Exploration
Our primary discovery phase, step 2, is about listening. We bring everyone to the table to have their say and discover what’s actually going on. These inclusive, multi-stakeholder engagement sessions explore key questions with the board, staff, influential stakeholders, industry leaders, and peer organizations. They are supplemented with surveys, literature reviews, and other proprietary methods, as needed.
PHASE 3
Learnings & Implications
After discovery, we provide an assessment of what has been learned so far. A brief report captures our top five to ten most relevant discoveries and their potential implications for your organization. This internal-facing document serves as the basis for our recommendations and your final plan.
PHASE 4
Strategy Development
In an iterative process, with the principal organizers and other key stakeholders, we develop the draft of your strategic framework, including a refreshed, reaffirmed, or refined vision, mission, and values. This will include strategic priorities and supporting initiatives.
PHASE 5
Approval
We present the final strategic plan, along with any final deliverables, for approval and next steps.
“Star Insights had a very defined process, with clarity on the phases that we had to go through, and clear goals for what we wanted to accomplish. And we completed the project. With one of my teams for nonprofit before I got here, we did something similar with a consulting group and it was just a lot of the initial work. They didn’t get to the outcomes. So I’m really proud of the results we achieved.”
Maria Salinas
President & CEO,
Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce
“I really enjoyed the process because it was clear from the get-go. What I really particularly appreciated is that, very early on, as we’re thinking about the process, we were involved in the design aspects of what that process was going to look like. We certainly wanted to lean on Star Insights’ expertise, because if we could do this ourselves, we really wouldn’t need them. But the fact that we were involved in our leadership, and involved in the design of what that process would look like, was helpful.”
Joumana Silyan-Saba
Director of Policy and Enforcement,
City of Los Angeles Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department
“Star Insights helped us come up with 7 really good operating principles. And then 10 really wonderful expansion principles. And those were intended to guide our board and our leadership staff when we consider expansion opportunities. And that was extraordinarily awesome.”
Tony Brown
CEO,
Heart of Los Angeles
