Master Planning

Define, imagine, shape and solve

We bring creativity and fresh perspective to master planning engagements of all types and scale. Our skilled facilitators lead a participatory, collaborative process that aligns multiple stakeholders, balances opportunities and constraints, and produces a strategic road map to a shared vision of the future. One of SMRT’s greatest strength is what one client described as our ability “to reach inside” an organization and create a vision based not only on what can be seen and heard, but on an intrinsic understanding of those elements of the institution that embody its unique identity and strengths.
