About Stratalysts

Hi! I'm Shannon, the founder of Stratalysts. After working for and with local governments for over twenty years I was tired of seeing so many good plans fall by the wayside. Over and over again I watched (or participated in) great strategic plans being developed and going nowhere. Not because the plans weren't solid. Not because the elected officials or staff didn't want to make it happen. And definitely not because people weren't good at their jobs. Local government is filled with brilliant people who are doing incredible things. The plans didn't go anywhere for a few simple reasons: alignment, prioritization, and connection. If you don't have these three things, your strategic plan might be harder to implement than you think. I want to help make sure that doesn't happen, or course correct if it already has. Stratalysts gets everyone one the same page, focusing on the right things, and moving strategically. Let's move beyond strategic planning and start acting that way.
