At Greenprint, we believe good strategy is a service to the public. When agencies translate their values into action, communities thrive. When vision connects seamlessly to implementation, meaningful change happens.
Today, we’re excited to formalize and name what we’ve been doing alongside our clients for years: Strategic Advising.
Why Strategic Advising Matters
Public agencies face an increasingly complex landscape — limited resources, rising community expectations and challenges that demand creative, collaborative solutions. From establishing national standards for green infrastructure to integrating equity into regional clean water investments, the work requires more than technical expertise. It requires strategy that centers community outcomes and helps agencies live out their values.
That’s where our Strategic Advising practice comes in.
What We Offer
Our strategic advisors help clients cut through complexity by clarifying strategy, building resilient organizational systems and effectively engaging key audiences. We bridge the gap between high-level vision and on-the-ground implementation — mapping out challenges and opportunities, strengthening organizational capacity, and charting clear paths forward.
Our services span five core areas:
- Program Design and Strategy – We create frameworks, strategic plans and programmatic work plans that translate broad goals into tangible actions and scale pilot projects into agency-wide programs.
- Equity + Social Justice Integration – We build frameworks and community-informed design processes that deliver high-impact community benefits within budget and regulatory constraints, including workforce development strategies that connect underemployed communities to green career opportunities.
- Organizational Effectiveness + Advisory Services – As trusted partners, we provide program management and owner advisor (PMOA) services, guide organizations through transformational change, and facilitate cross-disciplinary integration for unified project delivery.
- Strategic Communications + Engagement – We conduct discovery processes that inform research-based communications strategies and tailored messaging, design and facilitate collaborative meetings and workshops, and engage directly with communities to ensure resident priorities and diverse voices shape project planning.
- Sustainability – We connect broader policies and requirements to specific program goals, creating strategic pathways for sustainable outcomes. Our team has expertise in planning for Envision certification and supporting the third-party project review process.
