Philosophy

My goal is to assist organizations in achieving their maximum potential by utilizing the best-available practices. Every organization is distinct, so I collaborate with you to develop a tailored strategy that yields productive and efficient outcomes.

Philosophy

Services

A strategic plan provides structure for making day-to-day decisions that have a larger impact. I create a process using available knowledge to prioritize work into actionable goals, effectively allocate resources, and align stakeholders toward a shared vision.

Strategic & Operational Planning

A strong board of directors is crucial to success. I provide direction and facilitate conversations that enhance the governance structure, cultivate expertise, and establish guidelines that enable the organization to maintain a high-level of focus.

Board Governance

Knowing where you are is critical to know where you can go. Assessments provide the foundation for future planning or implementing organizational changes. I create and implement a process that meaningfully engage stakeholders and creates actionable recommendations to further your mission.

Assessments

Continuous improvement strengthens organizations. I offer tailored trainings related to effective meetings, board governance, organizational decision-making, and fundraising.

Training

"The Missoula County Community Justice Department was created through the merger of existing programs and departments that support the work of the legal justice system. Each program had separate visions, missions, goals, and staff. Through a year-long strategic planning process, stakeholder interviews, and facilitated discussions, Keegan help us focus our efforts, build a bigger vision to that serves the diverse needs of our community, all while centering the outcomes that we are working for – a just justice system that upholds human dignity regardless of where in the system you find yourself – a defendant, a victim, or a justice system professional. We now have a concrete plan for moving our work forward and have deeper and more productive relationships with all of our partners."
