Our Tools
After a preliminary review of the organization and discussions of the current landscape with the Founder, Victoria facilitated an online, interactive strategy session with the leadership team to bring together ideas, challenges and opportunities, and support the development of a clear Strategic Plan. Using leading techniques in visioning and action planning, as well as functional accountability and KPI matrices, Medical Herstory was able to create a Strategic Plan and modify their organizational structure to address capacity crunches, improve efficiencies in decision-making, and support succession plans.
The Impact
“Victoria’s strategic planning support came at a crucial time for Medical Herstory. She recognized the steps we needed to put together a successful strategic plan to pitch for funding. She recognized the unique challenges Medical Herstory was facing in relation to leadership, defined roles, and volunteer management. We now have a solid strategic plan which we have used to gain funding and we have effectively transitioned responsibilities and decision-making to a new management model so we can continue with our impactful work.”
