“Rebecca has a talent for navigating the complexities of large-scale, impactful work. What sets her apart is her ability to understand the intersection of people and systems; she isn't just creating cookie cutter tools to solve standardized problems. She tailors the implementation plan and process to the strengths of the team and that is where the real magic is. She has given us the tools to set big goals that we can now realistically achieve.”
- Lori Warren, Chief of Staff for Child and Family Wellness, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute
What is the Mission Delivery Network?
The Mission Delivery Network builds organizational capacity so you can implement your vision and make an impact. The person in your organization’s integrator role, the next-in-command—call them chief of staff, deputy director, vice president of strategic initiatives, or something else—will join a curated cohort to learn from experts and connect with peers. Each cohort member will design and deploy a tailored roadmap for your organization to align your strategy to your operating model, including your organization’s structure, processes, personnel, and culture.
Each cohort is intentionally small and curated to ensure that you and your fellow cohort members can bring real-life, real-time challenges to solve; test ideas; share resources and tools; learn new skills; and build your networks in a confidential, safe space facilitated by an experienced integrator.
Themes include organizational culture and communication, team alignment and role clarity, prioritization and focus, and impact measurement and monitoring.
Your Organization Will:
Solve real-time organizational challenges
Increase alignment across your strategy, people, and operations
Build a lasting network of near-peer organizations
Strengthen your organizational capacity
“Rebecca translates high-level strategic thinking into daily tasks and has a way of connecting with the team while holding us accountable. She is reliable, efficient, and thoughtful; she has been instrumental in helping us keep our priorities on track.”
- Paige Kowalski, Executive Vice President, Data Quality Campaign

FAQs

The best way to find out is to express interest. The next step will be to schedule an introductory call with Rebecca where we’ll discuss your organizational priorities and see if the network is a good fit.
Here are a few reasons why your organization will benefit from joining the network:
Your team is growing (or planning to grow)
You have a new strategy or major program
You just got an influx (or reduction) of funding
You have new senior leaders (e.g., CEO, chief of staff)
You recently merged with another organization
-
Cohorts are intentionally small to allow for stronger relationship building and more inclusive participation among integrators in a virtual setting. Each cohort includes integrators from up to eight organizations, balancing diversity of perspective with common organizational priorities and challenges.
-
Cohorts are designed to strengthen your organization by supporting the person in your organization’s integrator role. This is the person in your organization or on your team who serves as an executive thought partner and strategic doer. This person supports organizational alignment, strategy and execution, process management, communication, and team accountability.
This is an organizational commitment. While the cohorts are designed to support the person in your organization’s integrator role, the benefits are for the organization as a whole.
-
The network is an organizational commitment. While the cohorts are designed around the person in your organization’s integrator role, the benefits are designed for the organization as a whole – focused on your challenges, your team, and your solutions. At the end of 12 months, your organization will have an individualized roadmap to help you achieve your goals.
The cohorts focus on the integrator role at your organization – a position lacking connection and group learning opportunities. By serving your integrator, the cohort strengthens your organizational capacity from the inside.
-
This opportunity is designed to enhance the integrator’s effectiveness so much of the time commitment is intended to be in line with your integrator’s responsibilities. That said, cohort members spend an average of four hours per month on network activities.
Cohort members are expected to attend nine virtual sessions over the course of 12 months. Each session will be no longer than 1.5 hours.
Between sessions, cohort members join monthly one-on-one calls with an experienced integrator to support them and ensure accountability. Integrators use this time and asynchronous time to develop, refine, and start to implement their organizational roadmap.
-
Once your organization is part of a cohort, your organization’s integrator has a place in that cohort for the full 12 months. If your integrator leaves your organization or moves into a different role during that time, their place immediately transfers to another person of your choice at your organization. That person participates in the remaining cohort sessions.
