Our Process

Our team’s approach to every association we work with is unique and personalized to align with the values and mission of each organization. Throughout every step of the process, you’ll get strategic guidance that aligns with your organization. You will come away with a well-constructed plan that clearly outlines expectations and goals. This makes each step of the process more clearly defined when the actual implementation and design are ready with these actionable items.

1. Pre-Planning

During pre-planning, we collect vital data through surveys, focus groups, and interviews. This meticulous approach allows us to gather valuable insights, ensure informed decision-making, and lay the foundation for a successful consulting engagement.

2. Plan Creation

Our association consultants utilize a structured methodology to review accumulated materials, set goals and accountability, develop tactics, define desired outcomes, improve processes, and establish measurements.

3. Implementation & Evaluation Follow-Ups

During these follow-ups, Talley provides a draft of the plan for review. We also conduct implementation check-in sessions after delivering the final business plan. These ensure ongoing support, track progress, address challenges, and make necessary adjustments for successful plan implementation and evaluation.

4. Transition Smoothly

Our internal transition lead oversees AMCI accreditation and utilizes a best-practice approach to sequence operational elements strategically. This includes migrating technology systems, streamlining workflows, and establishing new operating norms to ensure a seamless transition.
