Some Client Feedback

Executive Director at Clean Energy NH​

“Allison’s assistance in crafting our new strategic plan was absolutely essential. She equipped us with tools that will endure well beyond her brief engagement with Clean Energy NH and which help guide our decision making regularly. I’d encourage anyone who is seeking services like those that Allison provides to give her a call and have a conversation!”

President & CEO NH Community Loan Fund

“Strategic planning with Allison is like watching an artist at work. From the start she customized her approach to support and guide our strategic planning process in two critical ways: she made sure we felt value every step of the way, not just when we put the final touches on our strategic plan; and she made sure the strategic plan itself captured a set of information that would provide clear focus and guidance to all stakeholders seeking strategic direction over the coming years. Her facilitation is thoughtful, inclusive, and mature.”

Executive Director at Educational Passages​

“I highly recommend Allison as a strategic planning consultant. Throughout our work together, Allison was thoroughly prepared and adaptive to evolving needs and feedback, and consistently responsive in communication. The thoughtful approach and professionalism made a significant impact on the success of our planning process, which has laid a strong foundation for our organization’s growth.I highly recommend Allison as a strategic planning consultant.

Director of Conservation & Climate at North County Land Trust

“I was fortunate our organization hired Allison to lead our Strategic Planning Process. She was very approachable, presented each session in a clear and structured way while also allowing us to guide the process. I appreciated her approach which cuts out a lot of the aspects of traditional strategic planning that people find tiresome and a waste of time and instead dives deeper into the aspects that will truly be meaningful to the staff and board. We opted to take advantage of her services add on where she spent three months of implementation time, with the staff only, to help us take the abstract document and put it into practice as well as familiarize ourselves with using tools that would help us evaluate and prioritize our work. I highly recommend that option.
Allison is an astute, caring, sincere, and honest person who truly wants to see each client succeed. She even followed up with me months later– just to check in! If you have need for organizational consulting or leadership coaching, I would highly recommend Allison Grappone.”
