Proposal Development & Strategic Initiatives

Good initiatives rarely arrive fully assembled.

mo:) helps organizations take an objective, opportunity, or half-formed idea and determine what it would actually take to make it work. We research the landscape, identify opportunities and threats, find missing pieces, develop practical alternatives, and organize the result into a coherent plan that others can understand and act on.

What we can support

Depending on the assignment, that may include:

• Concept and initiative development

• Research and feasibility analysis

• Opportunity and risk identification

• Partner and resource identification

• Identification of gaps, dependencies, and potential barriers

• Practical workarounds and alternative approaches

• Program structure, scope, timelines, and implementation planning

• Budget and resource considerations

• Proposal, concept-paper, or stakeholder narrative development

How it works

Strategic initiative work is structured as a finite engagement. We agree on the question to be answered, the work to be undertaken, and the deliverable before the engagement begins. Depending on the assignment, the final product may be a feasibility assessment, concept paper, implementation roadmap, proposal, or other written plan.

If the organization’s existing capacity is unclear, we may recommend a Capacity & Readiness Assessment before beginning.

No two organizations, projects, or funding opportunities are exactly alike.

Fees are based on the scope and complexity of the work, the deliverables required, the condition of the materials and systems already in place, and the time available to complete the assignment.

Before proposing an engagement, we’ll make sure we understand what you need and what it will take to get there.
