Empowering Organizations to Move Bold Vision Into Action
From planning to facilitation, we align your team, engage your stakeholders, and drive your strategy forward.
Is Your Plan Sitting on a Shelf?
A plan is just step one. You also need the right support to bring it to life. We guide you from big-picture vision to real-world execution and walk alongside your team at every step.
How We Help You
Strategic Planning
When you have a vision but no clear path forward.
We co-create a plan that engages your stakeholders and helps your team take real action, not just make a document.
Fundraising
When you are unsure how to fund your dream.
We co-design a campaign that fuels your mission, help you build authentic donor relationships, and casts a compelling vision.
Team Building
When your team is stuck, misaligned, or missing key roles.
We help you identify strengths, close gaps, and create a culture where people are in the right roles to thrive.
Governance
When your structure is slowing you down.
We work with your board to clarify roles, align around strategy, and build a governance model that drives progress.

Our Consulting Philosophy
We listen deeply, then help your whole team find its voice.
Our facilitation draws in every stakeholder, surfacing the insights that matter. Whether it’s 10 or 250 people, we design spaces where people are heard and feel invested in the outcome.
We co-create and walk with you every step of the way.
You won’t get a one-size-fits-all plan or be left to figure things out alone. We work beside your team to design the process, shape the questions, and support implementation so the strategy is truly yours and it actually gets done.
We build strategy that turns into action.
Our plans don’t sit on shelves. They move forward. Because we don’t just consult, we coach you. We keep showing up to help the strategy succeed.

Case Study
Strengthening Governance at a Provincial Health Organization
Board turnover to board strength.
When the Alzheimer Society of Ontario faced major board turnover, they brought in Cline Consulting to help stabilize governance and recruit experienced, high-performing directors.
Cline worked closely with the CEO and the board’s nomination committee to identify skill gaps, clarify strategic needs, and attract top-tier candidates. The process led to the successful onboarding of new directors who brought depth, diversity, and alignment with the organization’s mission.
Alongside board support, Cline also coached the CEO through a period of executive transition—ensuring governance remained strong and the organization could maintain focus during a critical time.
Outcome: A more resilient board, strong executive leadership, and renewed strategic alignment.
“Dwayne has assisted us by coaching our building team through a restart of our campaign as we have additional costs to our project. He has brought much-needed energy and clarity, helping our building team refresh our mission with a clear strategy to see our new facility completed. We are thankful for his leadership, sensitivity to our church culture and assisting our team leaders to move forward by faith.”
“Cline helped us recruit top-tier board members and navigate a leadership transition with confidence. Their team was responsive, knowledgeable, and strengthened our board when we needed it most.”
“We didn’t know where to start—Cline Consulting helped us engage our members and cast the vision with confidence. They gave us a clear path for our capital campaign and helped our church see the bigger picture.”
“Giving had plateaued in our church and we were facing a potential shortfall in funds for major capital projects. Cline Consulting coached us through the entire process, and we not only met our fundraising goal, we’ve since surpassed it and have a plan to increase giving long term.”
