Understanding where you’re starting from helps you get to where you want to go.

Gaining a solid understanding of the current status of your organization and/or project is a crucial step in planning, implementing, and evaluating new initiatives. Using a variety of tools, North Sky can provide a detailed assessment that helps you clearly understand the current landscape of an existing or planned program.

Get your projects off to a strong start with thorough and thoughtful planning.

North Sky can assist your organization in developing goals and projects, then help you prioritize strategies to make them a reality. We offer a range of services to ensure your project has solid footing at the outset, dramatically increasing your chances of success. These services include meeting facilitation, coalition development, data collection and analysis, and presentation, among others. Our ongoing coaching helps give shape to a project as it moves through the planning process.

We are committed to working collaboratively with our clients throughout the planning phase to ensure that their needs are being met. Our goal is to help create a project that is both useful and feasible.

Ensure you’re getting the results you want.

Your organization or community effort initiates projects and programs with intended goals – but how can you be sure these are actually being met? North Sky can give you the answers you need. We evaluate your project using a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and case studies. Collectively, these tools help to illuminate strengths as well as potential areas of improvement, and also help you meet the evaluation and reporting requirements of your funder. We will work with you to develop the most appropriate and effective format for communicating your results. Evaluation can yield an array of benefits, such as increased efficiency, informed decision making, and empowered stakeholders.

North Sky’s thorough evaluation will arm you with the information you need to improve program quality and outcomes, ultimately making your project (and organization) as successful as possible.

Successful projects require cohesive project management.

As work to improve communities shifts towards more collaborative models with multiple funding sources, a neutral source of external support to coordinate all the partners and moving pieces is a tremendous asset. North Sky brings extensive expertise in managing complex projects within and across organizations. We continue to learn about useful technology and practices to manage tasks and deliverables and keep the work moving forward – or course correct when necessary.

 Innovation only happens when ideas are transformed into practice.

New ideas and models to improve our communities and address the underlying causes of inequity are always being developed, but transforming them into practice requires thoughtful planning and intentional implementation. North Sky will work with you to identify community improvement strategies that are aligned with your organizational or collaborative goals and can be tailored to your unique context. Grounded in evidence-based approaches, we’ll help you determine how best to make progress toward your goals.
