Strategic Direction
Strategy that creates shared clarity about who you are, what you do, and what comes next.
“Jaime is extraordinary in that she is excellent at all the dimensions -- strategic thinking, quick learning, facilitation, partnership, communication, and writing. She has a knack for helping a group not only get unstuck but focused on the strategic possibilities ahead of them.”

Clarity at pivotal moments.
Many organizations reach a moment when the old answers no longer fit. The world has changed. Your team has changed. Your constraints are real. And the questions you’re asking are about focus, purpose, and direction:
What is the best use of us now?
Given our limits, what truly deserves attention?
What have we learned—and what should that change?
That’s where this work begins.
We don’t treat strategy as a rigid, multi-year playbook. Too much will shift. Instead, we see strategy as a process of deep questioning and alignment—a chance to slow down, take stock, and get clear about who your organization is right now: your role, your priorities, and what that means for doing the work.
This clarity doesn’t just help internally. It gives funders, partners, and staff a shared understanding of your vision—and how best to support it.
What We Offer

Focused, engaging facilitation for leadership teams, boards, and retreats
Mission, vision, and values work that reflects who you are now—and where you’re headed

Client Spotlight: NYDIS
Organization
NYDIS inspires, connects, and equips faith communities to serve neighbors in times of crisis.
Challenge
After nearly 25 years of responding to emerging needs, NYDIS was ready to intentionally chart its next phase of impact and determine what kind of organization it needed to be going forward.
Approach
We led a multi-month strategy process combining stakeholder interviews, landscape analysis, and facilitated sessions with leadership and the Board. The work surfaced NYDIS’s distinct identity and value and produced a clear strategic model to guide the organization’s future.
"Working on our strategy with JRB Group was pivotal for our organization as we faced a rapidly changing national ecology and pending senior leadership transitions. The team guided our diverse group of stakeholders through complex questions, helping us clarify our priorities and surface a shared understanding. As trusted thought partners, they helped us navigate hurdles in our path and move forward with greater clarity and focus."
- Peter Gudaitis, Executive Director & CEO, NYDIS
