The Challenge
From Entrepreneurial Beginnings to a Sustainable Future
The Pregnancy Care Centre of Guelph-Wellington had successfully navigated its entrepreneurial beginnings. But moving beyond the start-up stage brought new challenges. How could the ministry grow responsibly, strengthen confidence among its partners, and prepare for future staffing and organizational needs?
The Solution
Shepherd Consulting guided a comprehensive strategic and operational planning process, engaging board members, staff, and key stakeholders in conversations about the ministry’s mission, opportunities, and future priorities. Through facilitated discernment, organizational assessment, and practical planning, we helped establish shared objectives, clearer responsibilities, and a roadmap for sustainable growth. Our involvement even extended to speaking at the ministry’s fundraising dinner, helping communicate its vision and future direction to supporters.
As Executive Director Joanne Pronk reflected:
“I feel positive about the days ahead because I have more concrete guidance and direction in my role as ED.”
