Grey & Associates provides strategic planning and organizational development services that help leaders turn ideas into clear plans, simple measures of success, and steady follow-through. We work with public, nonprofit, and corporate teams to align priorities, strengthen leadership, and track results people can see. Our four core service lines—Organizational Development, Capacity Building, Community Engagement, and Strategic Planning—can be paired with ongoing support from a Fractional Chief Strategy Officer.

Grey and Associates Powers Execution

We partner with you to move from talk to action. Our consulting services help you:

• Set clear priorities and focus on what matters most.
• Connect strategy, people, and budget in one simple view.
• Measure progress in plain language that everyone can understand.
• Use data to make decisions, not just report on the past.
• Keep leaders, teams, and partners aligned over time.

We do this through four core service lines: Organizational Development, Capacity Building, Community Engagement, and Strategic Planning, with the option for ongoing support through Fractional Chief Strategy Officer services.

Organizational Development

Organizational Development (OD) is a strategic process that aligns your operating model, enhances leadership skills, and clarifies roles to drive results-driven change within your business. Our organizational development solutions and custom-tailored training programs are designed to fit your business and deliver results-driven impact. Our unique approach to learning and development solutions has proven to drive real change as people and organizations grow. Deliverables may include updates to the operating model, leadership development programs, role clarity, process improvements, and a change plan.

Leadership Development

We help managers and leaders build practical skills they can use right away. Our leadership development programs use Everything DiSC® (Catalyst) and The Five Behaviors® to improve:

• • Communication and collaboration
  • Trust across teams
  • Decision-making quality
  • Conflict handling and accountability

Capacity Building

Capacity Building helps nonprofits and organizations expand their impact by developing targeted competencies, improving sustainability, and co-creating essential operating procedures (SOPs).

Together, we can:

• • Design or refine standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Clarify roles and handoffs so work flows smoothly.
  • Strengthen board development and governance, including roles, committees, and meeting structure.
  • Develop simple dashboards and check-ins so leaders and the board can see progress at a glance.
  • Build internal skills so your team and board can maintain the changes over time.

This is especially helpful for organizations experiencing growth, new funding, or new programs and wanting structure to support that growth.

Board Development and Governance Support

We support boards with clear roles, meeting structure, and simple tools so they can focus on strategy, oversight, and sustainability—not just compliance.

Community Engagement

Our community engagement services center people and lived experience in every initiative. We use data and listening to identify who needs to be at the table and the best ways to reach them.

We help you:

• Clarify the purpose and goals of your engagement.
• Identify key audiences and partners using data and local insight.
• Design outreach plans, listening sessions, and feedback loops.
• Turn what you hear into clear actions and follow-up.

Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning is a defined, 6–10-week process in which we work with your leaders to set 3–5 clear priorities, define SMART KPIs, and create an executable 90-day sprint roadmap. Grey & Associates designs strategic plans your team can actually use. In 6–10 weeks, we help you create a clear roadmap and a simple rhythm to review results.

Working with your leaders, we will:

• Set 3–5 clear priorities for the next 3–5 years.
• Define simple measures of success (not everyone says “KPI”).
• Map roles, timelines, and resources to each priority.
• Capture stakeholder input in ways that are easy to understand.
• Build a 90-day sprint roadmap and a monthly results cadence using lightweight dashboards, integrated with your existing tools.

The Results You Can Expect

• • 3-5 Defined Priorities

  • Increased Role Clarity

  • Measurable Progress Quarter-over-Quarter
