Strategic Support

Story-centered advisory services that strengthen collaboration, equity, and organizational impact.

Flame Tree Story partners with organizations to bring clarity, connection, and coherence to their work. Drawing on nearly two decades in global health, gender equality, and participatory research, we support teams in understanding what’s working, where possibility lies, and how to move forward with shared purpose.

Our approach blends story-based methods, strengths-focused facilitation, and equity-centered strategy design — helping organizations align their people, vision, and practice.

    This may include:

    • Organizational visioning and strategic roadmapping

    • Program design or redesign

    • Thematic strategy development (gender equality, healthy masculinities, community engagement, etc.)

    • Strengths-based or Appreciative Inquiry–informed planning processes

  • We help organizations generate insights rooted in community voice and lived experience.

    Examples include:

    • Story-based inquiry and qualitative research

    • Action research and participatory learning

    • Outcome harvesting or reflective learning workshops

    • Organizational learning processes that surface what works
