Strategic Power Mapping
The very first step in working with new teams is to identify and analyze the people and organizations that have the power to impact a campaign or issue. By understanding the relationships, interests, influence and dynamics among stakeholders, Amy is able to effectively craft strategic plans and roles that are optimal for team members.
Technology Ramp-up
Many organizations are bogged down and inefficient because they are still using outdated and slow processes and systems. Amy stays on the cutting edge of the latest platforms and technologies and knows how to integrate new systems to optimize performance and output.
Visionary Leadership
Approaching every project and goal with a global eye, Amy sees ideas and solutions as "when" instead of "if" and "we will" instead of "we won't." She understands the ecosystems of each sector and what needs to happen for all the pieces to work together for success. Her guidance and recommendations are easily adopted by teams.
Government Liasion
Government agencies and the inherent bureaucracy that comes with such a large and complicated partner, often creates roadblocks and hopelessness for attainable solutions. Amy welcomes the challenge with her knowledge of the inner workings of the government and the relationships she has forged within it.
Coaching & Training
Often teams are not performing at the level needed to tackle and complete the objectives they are tasked with. Amy identifies capabilities through her strategic mapping and can design the necessary training to bring team members up to their optimal performance for overall success.
Board Expertise
Board service is a natural fit for Amy where she can take her leadership and organizational skills and apply them at a higher level to effect change. Her global knowledge of the human services and healthcare systems, combined with her insight, planning and relationships, greatly benefit any strategic collaborators.
