Director, Laurel-Jones County Library System, Inc.
"StratSimple has revolutionized our library's engagement with our community and financial stakeholders. The platform's robust survey, interview, and workshop features allowed us to gather invaluable feedback and insights. We witnessed an astounding 853% increase in survey engagement, receiving positive, critical, and even unexpected input from our community, partners, and funding agencies. By actively involving all our stakeholders, we forged stronger relationships and developed strategies that truly resonated with their wants and needs.
StratSimple's expert guidance was instrumental in our team's enthusiastic adoption of the Strategic Plan. The workshops were a game-changer, leading to the development and implementation of focused, actionable plans that have yielded measurable results. For instance, our facilitator challenged my team and me to think deeper and more creatively to meet the various needs of our community while also addressing the concerns of the staff. The safety of the staff in the library emerged as a key issue from these surveys, and as a result, the library board and funders are now making significant changes to ensure the safety of both staff and patrons. StratSimple has positioned our library for long-term success by fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. Our funding agencies are taking notice of our professional approach to growth and the clearly articulated needs of our community.
We are incredibly grateful to the StratSimple team for their support and guidance. With StratSimple, we've achieved greater buy-in, improved decision making, and, ultimately, better outcomes for our community. As the director, I have personally learned and grown from this experience in ways that will positively resonate with my staff and community for years to come. We look forward to leveraging StratSimple to further enhance our services and impact in the years to come."

Executive Director, Books in Homes USA Inc
I am so pleased that Books in Homes had the opportunity to work with StratSimple. Mike was patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He asked questions about our constituencies that I hadn't considered and helped me to frame things in a way that made sense. StratSimple made the data collection and analyzation seamless. The reports that we received from StratSimple were user friendly and provided great data for us.
We actually HAVE a plan! Creating a plan based on robust data is much more meaningful than internal employees "guessing" about the direction we should go.
We're just in the beginning stages of implementing our plan and hope to have some solid results soon that I'll certainly share. I will say, however, that even immediately after our session, I have started to tweak my work product accordingly. I would 100% recommend StratSimple to others as would the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We connected after the session and were both so pleased with our experience so far.

"StratSimple provided us with the framework to prioritize our strategic goals and define clear measurements for achieving those goals, and gave us progress tracking tools that are easy to use and clearly show results. One of the most beneficial elements of working with StratSimple was the engagement with the leadership team in a SWOT analysis and strategic planning session that resulted in consensus around clear objectives and key results. Once we had these defined, the
process of tracking and reporting on the key results was streamlined through the digital resource.
I would recommend StratSimple to any organization that wants to create alignment among team members and stakeholders on strategic priorities, and that wants to have a simple and clear method of measuring, tracking, and reporting progress. The SWOT process and strategy session with leadership helped the team understand the big picture, the organizational strategic vision, and how each department contributes to the overall success through shared objectives. The online tracking tool is intuitive and simple to use which helps team members easily adapt to making regular updates and tracking process.
StratSimple strengthened our leadership team collaboration on strategic goals and helps us stay on track with meeting objectives and tracking results."

"MFHS had an excellent experience with the StratSimple strategic planning method, and Mike and Alan were fantastic collaborators. The virtual interview surveys produced comprehensive and compelling results, unlike any other SWOT analysis I've seen. The process was user-friendly, with AI probing yielding clear, focused responses. The ability to triangulate data among staff, leadership, and the board was particularly impressive. StratSimple will transform strategic planning."

"StratSimple has been a fantastic tool in helping our organization make sense of so much data. Our strategic planning session was so incredibly insightful that our Board Members expressed how much more productive our session was in comparison to other strategic planning sessions they had taken part in. Our org is all in and super excited to use the tools that the team at StratSimple has created. Our Board members feel so much more connected to our strategic plan
and are incredibly invested in seeing the goals through. The ED/CEO deck was so impactful that we've decided to add parts of it to our onboarding of new Board Members. I can't thank the team at StratSimple enough! They've found a way to streamline strategic planning based on both quantitative and qualitative data in a way that is easy to digest.
If you're an organization that wants to create measurable meaningful goals and have incredibly heartfelt and productive
strategic planning meetings, StratSimple is 100% for you!"
