The Juniper Alignment Framework
The Juniper Alignment Framework is a practical approach to reconnecting purpose, people, and progress.
When alignment weakens, organizations feel it — in scattered priorities, strained teams, stalled decisions, or unclear narratives. The framework helps identify where misalignment is occurring and restores coherence across strategy, culture, resources, and communication.
Alignment is not a single intervention. It is the ongoing practice of ensuring that what you say, what you fund, what you measure, and how you work all point in the same direction.
That clarity is what creates momentum.
The Lens We Bring
We work inside real constraints — limited time, limited capacity, and competing priorities — and design support that fits how organizations actually function.
Our work is…
Human-Centered
Because people drive outcomes
Evidence-Informed
Because insight matters
Practical
Because progress requires action
This lens shapes every engagement, regardless of where organizations begin.
How Organizations Engage
Organizations enter the Alignment Framework in different ways, depending on what’s most needed right now. Some engagements are focused and time-bound; others offer sustained partnership. All are tailored to context.
Visibility & Positioning
When you’re doing strong work, but it’s not reaching the right people
We clarify your message and strengthen how you show up publicly so your impact is easier to understand, trust, and support.
Workshops & Retreats
When you need progress, not another meeting
Facilitated working sessions designed to create clarity, strengthen alignment, and move real work forward in days, not months.
Organizational Health Snapshot
When morale, trust, or momentum feels off
A rapid, human-centered assessment to understand what’s helping, what’s hurting, and where intervention will make the greatest difference.
Fractional Leadership Support
When you need sustained thought partnership and steady support
An ongoing, senior-level partnership to help leaders navigate complexity, make decisions, and maintain clarity and alignment over time
How the Work Happens & What it Often Includes
Across engagements, we draw from a flexible set of methods — selecting and adapting what fits your context, capacity, and goals.
Data discovery and sense-making
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) design
Root cause analysis and systems mapping
Strategy and prioritization workshops
Organizational listening and synthesis
Impact storytelling and funder-facing narratives
We use only what’s useful — no off-the-shelf models, no unnecessary complexity
Depending on the engagement, our work may include:
Strategy clarification, prioritization, and activation
Organizational health, culture, and performance support
Measurement, evaluation, and learning (MEL) design
Root cause analysis and systems mapping
Fundable narratives, theories of change, and donor readiness
Impact storytelling for funders, partners, and communities
We tailor methods to fit your context, capacity, and goals — never the other way around
Grounded Expertise
Our work is informed by deep technical expertise across public health, social services, gender equity, and humanitarian contexts, paired with lived experience inside complex systems.
We apply this expertise in ways that reflect how change actually happens in practice — not just in theory.
What Happens Next
If you’re unsure where to start, that’s often a sign alignment is already calling for attention.
We’re happy to talk through your context and help identify what kind of support would be most useful right now.
