Strategy and Organizational Design
To design an organization’s future success, strategic thinking and planning is crucial. Herren guides our clients through the process, navigating divergent perspectives, competing priorities, and various options for future positioning. We encourage multiple stakeholders to contribute to the organization’s strategic plan, creating sustained commitments and guiding the right decisions for the future. As we conduct this process with our clients, we maintain an unwavering focus on implementation and action. As a result, our clients chart a bold course forward while acknowledging the enduring budgetary and political constraints of public-sector organizations.
