Meet Shannon - The Founder

---

Like many of my clients, I was tired of looking at countless strategic plans and seeing them go nowhere. Elected officials and colleagues would spend a ton of time (and money) to develop a plan only to then quickly put it away. How did this plan relate to my Finance Team? Or any team? What were we supposed to do first? Why bother if we might get new elected officials in a few years? What happens if something changes? I know what it’s like to not have the answers and feel like you spent money and time on a plan that never went anywhere. That’s exactly why I built Stratalysts—to help people like you finally take their strategic plan from paper to progress. Inspired, not tired. 

With 20 years of experience in local government and strategic planning, I bring a fresh, approachable, and straightforward perspective to every project. Whether you need a strategic plan developed, implementation support, or want to refresh your existing plan, my mission is to make sure your strategic plan goes beyond paper, actually gets used, and makes measurable progress for your organization and community. 

• A Plan You'll Actually Use - No shelf-sitters here. I deliver strategic plans that are tied to your real-world operations, budget, and team structures—so your plan is actionable from day one.

• Clarity That Cuts Through the Noise - I turn complexity into plain language, helping your team understand what to focus on, why it matters, and how success will be measured—making strategy feel accessible and empowering for everyone involved.

• Inclusive Engagement That Builds Buy-In - Using proven facilitation methods like ToP and the Strategic Planning Readiness Assessment, I bring together elected officials, leadership, staff, and community so everyone is on the same page and invested in making progress.

• Tools and Support for Real Progress - You’ll get more than advice: I equip your team with tools like the Pulse Check Report, SMART Goals coaching, and Implementation Blueprints so you can stay on track, measure impact, and adjust as needed.

When we work together, you don’t just get a strategic plan—you get the tools, support, and reality-check you need, so you can actually achieve your goals and measure progress along the way.

✔️ You’re tired of strategic plans that never get used.

If that sounds like you, your team, or your organization...let’s make this happen. Let's take action and make some progress.
