SDP believes the strategic plan and its design process should inform all aspects of an organization’s work—from the mission to the message—and should be a product owned by the staff and board members, not the consultant. SDP’s strategy design approach focuses on aligning three key areas of the mission-to-message continuum: strategy, structure, and story.
