Strategy: It’s What We Do

CoLab Strategy is a social impact consultancy specialising in Strategy Development, Sustainable Business Models, Operating Models and Impact Measurement for Local Government and Not for Profit Organisations.
Our team and Associates have extensive experience working with executive teams and boards of organisations to define and execute their strategic priorities, align their resources, capabilities and culture to amplify their impact, and measure and demonstrate their value.

We operate out of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and deliver services nationwide.

Strategic Planning for Social Impact

Strategy-making is a collaborative process of discovery. We use research, stakeholder engagement, data analysis and collaborative, co-design processes to pinpoint your challenges and opportunities and generate an impactful and sustainable strategy that is backed by a clear plan for action.

Sustainable Business Models

Business models describe, as a system, how the pieces of your organisation fit together. Our expertise in sustainable business model innovation helps organisations in the social sector design how they deliver value to their customers or communities. 

Effective Operating Models

A good operating model is a prerequisite for building effective change in your organisation. We help you design services and supports that maximise value, impact and efficiency. We help you to do more with less.

Impact Measurement

Measure and communicate the true impact of your organisation’s efforts. We provide comprehensive frameworks, tools and training to help you define and measure your impact, demonstrate value and gain the confidence and support of funders.

Capability and Culture

We work with your teams to align culture and build the capabilities needed to effectively execute on your strategy and create lasting impact.

Workshop Facilitation

Our experienced facilitators will guide your team and stakeholders through a deliberate and collaborative process that clarifies the issues you’re solving for, aligns your team around strategic direction and agreed ways of working, generates new ideas and leaves you with a clear plan for action.
