Strategic Planning
Through facilitation techniques designed to support equity of voice, RDCG’s strategic planning process is designed to allow organizations to step into the critical thinking required to develop a comprehensive strategic plan with clear and concise action steps that will guide your team for the next 3-5 years.
CliftonStrengths® Assessments
We are total CliftonStrengths® nerds here at River District Consulting! Based on a forty-year study of positive psychology, Dr. Donald Clifton developed this assessment to help us understand our naturally recurring thought & behavior patterns. These talents are broken down into thirty-four themes across four domains — executing, influencing, relationship-building & strategic-thinking. Everyone has talents & we truly believe learning how to apply your talents individually & as a team will help you be more successful.
Along with using CliftonStrengths® as an everyday tool at River District Consulting Group, we also conduct team building assessments. Through these hands-on workshops, we help you and your team develop common language to discuss and capitalize on your cognitive differences.
Community Engagement & Outreach
As clients look for ways to serve more effectively, RDCG offers a process to engage those you serve in meaningful ways so that you may obtain a better understanding of lived and living experiences.
We use a variety of methods to gather information critical to decision-making.Through one-on-one interviews, focus groups, community listening sessions, online surveys & social media engagement, we gather input across multiple groups of stakeholders, allowing them to be personally invested in your project.
