Case Study

Holding space to explore possible futures

Opportunity

Supporting a vital campaign about responsible recreation and stewardship

A multi-stakeholder partnership was doing genuinely meaningful work on a cause with growing public urgency. The campaign had been running for a few years, expanded across communities, and earned industry recognition. But without a long-term funding structure and a shared governance model, the organizations behind it couldn’t keep growing. They needed to pause and explore possible futures.

We designed a planning session so the group could:

See where we’ve been, what’s at stake without long term funding

Feel energized to have an active role in this unique and vital campaign

Do shape the way forward

Actions

Engaged coalition members to help shape the problem they needed to solve
Prepared participant information and communications package
Designed and facilitated an interactive session that explored scenarios, discussed possible futures and prioritized actions
Held space to surface insights and open dialogue for different points of view
Summarized session outcomes with clarity on a preferred direction forward

Impact

Participants left with a clearer sense of what the coalition valued, where the real tension was, and what they were willing to commit to next.

The most important outcome of a well-designed session isn’t a strategy document. It’s a group of people who feel seen, heard, and ready to act together.
