STRATEGY IN PRACTICE

Live and Breathe Strategy Together

I help teams shaping cities and urban economic policy build the internal muscle to design smart strategies. My work focuses on the throughline from vision to action — helping teams translate big ideas into the decisions, priorities, and alignment needed to move them forward.

 

Because strategy isn’t just a plan. It’s the set of choices that align capital, people, and direction so meaningful work can gain momentum needed to create real impact.
 
Whether you’re facing a pivotal decision, launching a bold new initiative, or evolving an existing strategy, you need a way to cut through complexity and move people together. My work draws on real-world experience designing strategy inside complex organizations — producing direction that is clear, actionable, and grounded in the realities of execution.

Strategy Offsites

Facilitated offsites using our decision-making Strategy Anthem framework, designed so you leave with real decisions made and a repeatable way to make the next ones. 

Vision + Strategic Plans

A project-based engagement where your team co-writes the plan with me to create an actionable roadmap your people own.

Founder + Executive Advisory

Ongoing strategic advisory for founders and senior leaders navigating growth, pivots, or complex decisions. Structured thought partnership delivering enterprise clarity without added overhead.

Strategy only goes as far as the leaders who carry it.

"Clarity of mission and board coherence was our goal for our board retreat, and working with New Anthem Solutions through Natalie Shieh, the group took its biggest and most important leap forward... Natalie made me feel heard and understood, and this was evident throughout the retreat agenda's conception and delivery."
