Skills for Reproductive Rights

IISC worked with PPLM board members and senior management to create a five-year strategic plan that incorporated input from all staff, and provided training in collaborative leadership skills and coaching techniques to over half of the organization. The result, in the words of Executive Director Dianne Luby, was “transformational.” The process of strategizing together facilitated teamwork and understanding across departments and sites as well as between board and staff. The trainings developed skills that led to more focused planning, organization, and teamwork. And with its strategic plan, PPLM developed a unified vision and concrete steps for making the organization a mainstream player around reproductive rights.


  • IISC’s training, facilitation, strategic planning and other services have helped us build partnerships, master the skills needed to maintain those partnerships, and develop the organizational structures we need. Without their help, it would have been difficult, if not impossible to do what we’ve done in the time that we’ve done it.

  • IISC facilitated a reorganization process of teaming structures, staffing assignments, and decision making processes for our organization. We now have a reorganized structure that meets the changing needs of the work we face, while most importantly building a more collaborative staff culture.
