Building strategy from the inside out
Dr. Jennifer R. Madden is President of LeveragePoint Development, Inc. and the creator of the Six D Strategic Planning Framework — a proven, six-step system that guides nonprofit organizations from direction-setting through full implementation.
She is also the author of The Strategic Planning Blueprint, a practitioner resource that translates the Six D Framework into actionable tools for nonprofit boards and leadership teams.
For more than a decade, Dr. Madden has served as a trusted advisor and strategic planning consultant to organizations across the full spectrum of the nonprofit sector — from community-based organizations doing essential local work, to complex federated systems operating across chapters in every state nationwide, to movements driving systems change at scale.
"From my research and experience, what people co-create, they sustain."
Her strategic planning clients include Make-A-Wish America, where she supported the national leadership team in the development of Vision 2030, mBOLDen CHANGE, A New Way of Life Reentry Project, the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), and organizations across community development, housing, reentry, and civic leadership.
