A new CEO. A national restructuring. 114 projects, all competing for the same budget.

When Kaitlyn Kendall-Sperry of Benefactor Group partnered with the Epilepsy Foundation of America in 2023, every stakeholder was convinced their initiative was the priority, with no real way to work through it, and a planning process that would eventually come down to whoever had the most political capital.

Her team scored all 114 projects against what the organization said mattered most, and let the data drive the budget conversation instead.

Leadership later told her it stopped them from funding things they would have otherwise approved without question; that kind of outcome is hard to get from a facilitated retreat and a slide deck.

Running Around. Coffee Gone Cold. Overlapping Meetings.

Sounds familiar? Probably.

This is a consultant's work day; you're constantly running around juggling your way through stacking priorities, rearranging outdated documents, deciphering RFPs, and managing years-old strategic plans.

What if you didn't have to?
What if a 3-year strategic plan took weeks instead of months to develop? What if reports wrote themselves? What if responding to RFPs became the easiest part of your day?

That's exactly what Allovance 2.0 was built for, specifically for the consultants and organizational leaders carrying the weight of every decision. And with real-time workshops designed to get a team running from day one, you're never figuring it out alone.

Anthropic just published research showing that Claude develops something they call "functional emotions. Anthropic just published research showing that Claude develops something they call "functional emotions."

When it fails a task repeatedly, a desperation signal activates internally and starts pushing it toward shortcuts. The output still reads as calm. The pressure is underneath.

That gap between what a decision looks like and what's actually driving it is exactly what structured decision-making exists to close.

Allovance 2.0 is live.

For teams running strategic planning, capital allocation, or complex prioritization work; the platform now supports the full decision-making process in real time.

Here are some of the updates:

- Real-time pairwise comparison. Every participant contributes simultaneously. Weights are calculated automatically from collective input.

- Consensus Analytics. Where your team aligns strongly, where alignment is fragile, and where disagreement needs a real conversation; visible in real-time.

- Project Scoring Against Strategy. Every initiative evaluated against the scorecard the team actually built together, not priorities carried over from a previous cycle.

- KPI Tracking. Teams can set measurable indicators directly against their weighted priorities. Both qualitative and quantitative KPIs can now be added to each objective.

- Portfolio Selection & Tracking. Track project progress against organizational goals on an ongoing basis, so the plan does not disappear after the session ends.

- Workshops. Need to get your team aligned? "Workshops" is a structured, facilitated experience that takes you from competing priorities to a weighted scorecard in days.

The methodology is the same. The platform now makes it possible in real time.

67% of strategic plans fail.

Not because of bad ideas.
Not because of lazy teams.
Not because of limited budgets.

The reason is simpler, and harder to fix. There was never a real decision-making framework in the room.

Here is what most planning sessions actually look like. The CEO arrives with a pet project. The CFO advocates for whatever is safe. The loudest voice gets the budget. Everyone leaves feeling heard, and nothing was actually compared against anything else.

Three months later, the plan is a 90-slide deck nobody opens. A year later, the same process runs again and calls itself strategy.

The fix is not a better offsite or a smarter consultant. The fix is getting the team aligned on what creates value for the organization first then scoring projects against that scorecard.

That is where real strategy begins.

This is the first of five posts on why strategic plans fail, and what organizations that actually execute on strategy do differently.

Stay Tuned.

Most strategic plans end up on a shelf.

Although the work was done, the process that built them couldn't hold the weight of real decisions. No way to compare priorities. No structure to push back on the loudest voice. No record of how you got there.

That changes when the process is built right.

Watch and see what we mean. 👇

Your company has $10 million to allocate across 5 strategic priorities:

A) Build a new product line (high upside, medium risk)
B) Enter a new geographic market (proven model, ex*****on risk)
C) Invest in infrastructure and systems (boring, but foundational)
D) Double down on customer retention (safe, steady growth)
E) Expand to a new market by acquiring a competitor (big bet, integration risk)

How do you decide?

Here's what most companies do: The CFO argues for C. The innovation lead champions A. The commercial team wants B. Customer Success makes the case for D. And someone always brings up E because it's exciting.

By the end, you've either diluted the budget across all five or you've had a political win that had nothing to do with strategy.

What you need instead: a framework that forces clarity about what matters and why. Not opinions. Not politics. Analysis.

That's the difference between choosing and deciding.

Yasmine and Clare were student-athletes at Michigan when they noticed something that felt obvious once you saw it. College athletes cycle through shoes and gear constantly. Kids in under-resourced communities sit out entire seasons because they can't afford to play. The math felt simple. Connect the two.

That became The SunBundle. A few years in, they had two Big Ten chapters, real community impact, and more priorities than they had a way to evaluate.
We ran them through the full Allovance Workshop.
The first session was about building the scorecard. Is "distribute shoes" a strategic priority or is it the mission itself? Twenty minutes on that question. By the end they had a five-priority scorecard, every criteria discussed, defined, and agreed upon.

Then we asked each of them to compare every priority against every other one, independently, without discussing it. Just answer honestly: which one matters more right now, and by how much.

When the results came back, the room got quiet.

Their alignment was some of the highest we had ever seen. Two people building something together for years, assuming they were probably on the same page, finally seeing it confirmed as data. That hits differently than believing it as a feeling.

Then we scored their initiatives. A summer camp at 38% opened up a real conversation: why didn't it score higher in financial sustainability? They hadn't thought through the corporate sponsorship angle. That conversation improved the project. A conference they had been quietly uncertain about landed near the bottom. One of them said the score gave her permission to say out loud what she had already been feeling.

That is what structured scoring does. It does not tell you what to think. It gives you the language to say what you already know.

Yasmine's closing line: "We've always talked about this stuff. We just never actually nailed it down."
That is what a good strategic planning process does.

The difference isn't effort. It's the framework.

Most strategic plans fail because the process that created them was broken from day one.

We fix the process.

Consultants, leaders, and decision-makers walked into a room at the University of Michigan.

They came from La-Z-Boy, Guidehouse, the City of Ann Arbor, City of Battle Creek, Michigan, nonprofits, consulting firms, and startups.

They came because they all share the same problem: strategic planning is broken.

Not the idea of it. The ex*****on.

67% of strategic plans fail. Not because people don't care. Because the process itself is broken — too many opinions, no framework, and plans that die in a drawer.

We spent the day showing a different way. A way that turns subjective debate into shared, defensible logic.

In this video, you'll hear directly from Henry DeVries, Arcadio Ramirez, Rick Claar, and Paula Sorrell on what the day meant to them and why it resonated.

Watch what happened.
