Services
Rural communities are undergoing significant transformations. As leaders, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the changes these shifts can bring. At Verweven, we offer end-to-end consulting services designed to empower you to navigate these challenges with confidence while seamlessly weaving the changes into your organization or community.
Verweven is about weaving. Let us be your guide as you weave new voices and perspectives into your project.
Complimentary Consultation
Not sure what you need? Do you feel stuck in a plan that doesn’t respond to what the world needs of you today? Or are you weaving together a new team to address what your community needs?
With 30+ years facilitating community and organizational change, we can help. We offer a free one hour, no obligation consultation via zoom to help you see a path forward for your organization.
Designing Your Pathway
When leading change, much is unpredictable and unknown. So how do you design your path?
Work with us to design a pathway that will challenge you to think deeply about your project. We will support you as you adapt your decision making and engage with those impacted by your project.
As your partner and navigator, we will design the path forward together giving you the confidence you need to take the next steps.
Hosting Conversations that Lead to Action
Verweven weaves leaders together for action. Often this weaving happens through facilitated conversations. We value action and will bring that value to your designed conversation. We expect you and the participants in your project to be active participants. Our goal is to see that something is different because you came together.
We have formal training in ToP, Art of Hosting, and experience in Strategic Doing and Positive Community Norms frameworks. We know that there isn’t a one size fits all approach to this work. We excel at matching the right tool to the right situation so you will achieve your goals.
Building Strategy
What has changed in your organization or in the environment around you since you last worked on your strategic plan? How has change made you think differently about the impact you want to have in the world?
As leaders, we know the world is constantly changing and adapting. Your organization’s strategic plan needs to adapt too. Consider reviewing or updating your strategic plan every three years and whenever there are significant changes that impact your work to keep your organization relevant and moving forward.
Building out your strategy is a big undertaking, so let us be your guide. As external facilitators, we will support you and your planning partners as you update your vision, mission, goals, strategies, and action plans.
Turning Strategy into Reality
You have a Strategic Plan, now what? How do you shift from planning to doing? What is manageable change in an organization?
If you are struggling to turn your plan into action, let us be your guide. We will work with you and your leadership team to design action plans that remain true to your strategy and implement change in manageable pieces.
Recommitting to Mission, Vision, and Values
You Mission, Vision, and Values provide a strong compass for your work. But only when you regularly engage with this language to keep it alive and adaptable as your context changes.
Consider engaging with Verweven to provide a framework for your staff to think deeply about what your guiding language means to your work. We can design and conduct workshops that help you and your staff stay connected to each other through your shared guiding language.
