Strategic Planning

Most plans failin the gap betweenthe document and the daily work.

Equity-centered strategic planning and organizational friction reduction with Dr. Joshua T. Fraser, Ed.D. We name the friction, build the coalition, and put the accountability inside the practice so the plan actually moves.

Where do you stand

Who you work with

Dr. Joshua T. Fraser, Ed.D. I built an equity department from nothing and cut suspensions and absenteeism in half through restorative practice and culturally sustaining teaching. My doctoral research analyzed 67 strategic planning documents across five metropolitan districts to find what separates equity that transforms from equity that performs.

The work runs on a set of frameworks built in practice, not borrowed from a slide deck.

The method

A spiral, not a checklist

A plan is a circle if it returns you to where you started. It is a spiral when each turn leaves you on higher ground. Five turns carry the work.

1

Anti-Racist Coalition Building

Build the coalition that can carry the work before the work begins.

2

Systemic Barrier Analysis

Find the structures that hold the pattern in place, not just the symptoms.

3

Community-Driven Equity Mapping

Map the work with the community it serves, not above it.

4

Implementation with Embedded Accountability

Put the accountability inside the daily practice, where it holds.

5

Regional Movement Building

Carry what works past one organization into the region around it.

Start with a conversation.

Thirty minutes. No pitch. We figure out where the friction is and whether we are the right fit.
