Developed by Dr. Jennifer R. Madden through years of facilitation work with nonprofits across the country, the Six Ds framework organizes the entire strategic planning process into six sequential, interdependent phases — each with clear deliverables and advance criteria.
"From my research and experience, what people co-create, they sustain."
Dr. Madden is the founder of Leverage Point Development, Inc. and the creator of the Six Ds Strategic Planning Framework. Over more than a decade, she 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 movements driving systems change at scale, including A New Way of Life (ANWOL) Reentry Project, the Formerly Incarcerated, Convicted People and Families Movement (FICPFM), and Starting Over, Inc., a community-led reentry organization serving the Inland Empire since 2009, to complex federated systems operating across hundreds of chapters nationwide, including Make-A-Wish America, where she served as a strategic planning consultant to the national leadership team in the development of Vision 2030. Wherever an organization is in its journey, Dr. Madden brings the same rigorous, human-centered approach: co-creating strategy that people believe in and are equipped to execute.
