Strategy

Matthew passionately believes that no off-the-shelf approach can solve our most challenging problems. Every community, organization, and team is unique, and Dialectix consulting can lead you through a series of strategic planning sessions to determine your best path forward.

Assessments: Allowing your employees, clients, or the general community to give you honest feedback on their experience can give you invaluable data to create an effective strategy for creating greater inclusion and becoming more effective

Strategy coaching: Individual sessions with leadership can help provide clarity and the clarifying perspective of an outside subject matter expert who is not caught up in the day to day operations of your organization.

Strategy facilitation: Groups often need an outside facilitator to sort through and prioritize the many different objectives competing for their time.
