Evaluation & Planning
We provide customized evaluations of organizational practices, policies, and programs to identify barriers and opportunities for advancing distinct priorities. Our tailored action plans help clients implement sustainable and effective changes to achieve their goals.
Specialized Expertise
Program Evaluations
Our program evaluations assess the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational initiatives. We work with clients to define key evaluation questions, employ rigorous data collection methods, and conduct thorough analysis. Our reports provide clear, actionable insights to improve program outcomes. We maintain open communication throughout the process to ensure the evaluation meets client needs and supports informed decision-making.
Assessment & Review
We perform thorough needs assessments to identify barriers to access and inclusion. This involves reviewing documents, conducting equity audits, and engaging stakeholders. We analyze organizational structures and practices, as well as lived experiences, to create a prioritized list of equity needs. Our final reports outline the current state of equity in client organizations, including key barriers and opportunities, and provides recommendations for improvement.
Strategic Planning
We help organizations in incorporating reconciliation and equity principles into their strategic vision and plans. Our approach involves analyzing the organization's environment, setting SMARTIE objectives (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound, inclusive, and equitable), and creating detailed action plans. We engage stakeholders to ensure diverse perspectives are included. The final strategic plan offers a clear roadmap for integrating reconciliation and equity into all operations.
Community Planning
Our community planning services address the unique challenges faced by First Nations and other Indigenous communities. We facilitate meaningful community engagement, mediate between stakeholders, and incorporate Traditional Knowledge into planning processes. We cover areas such as housing, infrastructure, and land use, developing comprehensive plans that balance immediate needs with long-term sustainability. We also focus on building community capacity for ongoing development.
Crisis Management
We provide rapid support to communities and organizations in crisis. Our approach involves quick assessment, strategic recommendations, and implementation support. We focus on both immediate mitigation and long-term resilience, drawing on our professional and lived experiences. We help manage communications, coordinate responses, and conduct post-crisis debriefs to improve future preparedness.
