Facilitation - Engagement - Strategy
for the next generation
CounterCurrent helps leaders achieve their visions for a more just world.
For many organizations, high levels of uncertainty make it hard to think strategically. We help organizations meet the moment by:
Crafting tools and timelines with built-in flexibility to adapt to shifting conditions
Building from existing knowledge and developing internal strategic capacity
Strengthening internal alignment and clarity to position teams to navigate whatever comes ahead
CounterCurrent’s mission is to make strategy more accessible.
“Since working with Counter Current, we've tripled the number of students we work with in our foundation and set a long-term roadmap for how we want to grow the foundation. I highly recommend Counter Current to anyone who is looking to build strategy in the impact space. They are experienced, thoughtful, great listeners, and a team who can push your thinking about what can be done. ”

What we do
CounterCurrent offers facilitation, stakeholder engagement and strategic planning services to help organizations:
-
1. Align on shared intention
Building shared intention is essential to successful strategy. We facilitate conversations to uncover individual and shared aspirations, including where folks might disagree, and help teams reach greater clarity in service of higher impact.
-
2. Understand audiences + impact
Gathering input from external stakeholders can help clarify impact, deepen relationships, and spark insights about potential future directions. We work with teams to design an engagement process that surfaces partner perspectives and facilitates authentic dialogue.
-
3. Set priorities + define paths forward
Building a strategy frame can help teams land priorities and develop a shared basis for navigating tradeoffs. We help teams identify near- and long-term milestones, and build capacity to evaluate and shift their strategies as conditions change.
