BITE-SIZED WAYS TO
EXPAND YOUR IMPACT 

How can Black Sheep support the important work that you are doing?

The Black Sheep team offers limited slots for shorter-term consulting projects to help our social impact-focused clients. We realize that not every challenge requires a long-term or more "traditional" engagement - let us problem-solve with you!

  • Ready to articulate or refresh your Vision and Mission statements?
  • Hungry for tactics to activate your Core Values in more tangible ways?
  • Need to borrow our strategist brains for a pressing question or an immediate challenge?
  • Want some external thinking on a new start-up or programmatic offering that your team is working on?

OFFERING 1:
Mission, Vision
and Core Values Development

Articulating your Mission, Vision and Values is a fundamental part of ensuring your organization’s ‘greater why’ is communicated clearly and acted upon consistently. Whether you are an established nonprofit needing to recalibrate or a new organization still figuring it all out, we are here to help. 

Your experience will be built for you, but this might look like:

  • Engaging workshop and listening sessions with key stakeholders
  • Development of Purpose,  Mission, Vision statements and Core Values
  • Guidance on real world MVV implementation and organizational culture connections 
  • Team, board member and partner buy-in and launch strategy

Sounding Board + Strategy Sessions

Our custom consulting and facilitation services are perfect for shorter-term project partnership needs that require big thinking with highly specific deliverables.

There’s no template for the kinds of social impact challenges you are tackling, but here are some ideas on how we can support you:
 
  • Facilitated leadership and board roundtables to tackle a specific problem or question
  • Sprint-style messaging and creative workshops to set your team on the right track 
  • Rapid organizational purpose, service and audience mapping for early-stage strategic planning
  • “Borrow” a Black Sheep brain to talk through vertical or campaign-specific questions
  • Executive personal brand review and working sessions

The process looks different for everyone, but it might include:
 
  • Immersion sessions to explore goals, priorities, and opportunities
  • Audit of relevant materials you share
  • Initial research to understand the social climate, industry landscape and audience behavior
  • a Project Plan proposal that summarizes top goals, audiences, a strategic approach and specific project phases
