Services
Every client is unique, so every solution is unique. We lead with strengths: we find what your people and your organization already do well, then bring coaching, strategy, evaluation and the right tools to build on it.
Coaching and workshops
Before starting any change, every part of your team should be working in ways that feel natural to them. Both of our co-founders are Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches.
Group coaching / workshop
A strengths-based team workshop, customized to your group. Includes manager prep before the session and a follow-up momentum call after.
Manager / leader prep
An educational mini-workshop (typically included with a workshop) that equips leaders with the knowledge to move to a strengths-based model.
Individual coaching
One-on-one coaching that helps individuals set and achieve goals related to their roles, and sustains momentum from initial strengths workshops.
Strengths-based consulting and delivery
A comprehensive engagement combining workshops, leader and stakeholder training, one-on-one coaching, and in-depth assessments, recommendations and delivery, customized to your business.
Strategy and operations
Strategy only works when the operating model, the processes and the people line up behind it. Led by Jimmy Friday, drawing on more than 25 years in management consulting and corporate leadership.
Strategy and alignment
Clarify where you are going and line up goals, priorities and decision rights so the organization pulls in one direction.
Process and operating model
Process optimization, governance and operating cadence, so the work flows cleanly and the right people own the right decisions.
Program and project management
Planning and delivery leadership for the initiatives that matter most, tailored to your organization.
Research and program evaluation
Do your programs work, and how do you know? Led by Alicia LaChapelle-Friday, PhD, with nearly 20 years in research and evaluation across behavioral health, community mental health, schools and youth programs.
Program evaluations
We evaluate the effectiveness of your behavioral health and social services programs so every resource creates a measurable, positive impact.
Needs assessments
Assessments that combine participatory approaches with data-driven insight to strengthen existing community resources and develop new ones.
Continuous quality improvement
Design and implementation of quality-improvement plans and measures, so evaluation findings turn into better practice.
AI strategy and tools
Most AI efforts stall for the same reason most technology efforts do: the tool arrives before the people and the process are ready for it. We work in the other order.
AI strategy and readiness
Where does AI actually fit in your business? We help you pick the use cases worth doing, and say no to the rest.
Adoption and governance
Clear ownership, guardrails and working habits, so your team uses AI with confidence and the results can be trusted.
Backshack Stack
The tools themselves. Backshack.ai is built and run by Friday Advisory Partners: a platform of AI-powered business tools, and a partner to set it up and run it with you.
Backshack Stack gives you the full Backshack tool array, new AI-powered tools built for you on the Backshack framework, and a support package that sets it up and keeps it running. It comes in four tiers (All-In, Supported, On-Call and Managed) with no lock-in. The frameworks we use with clients for strategy, project planning and governance are available as Backshack tools too. Backshack Stack is now in beta, with founding-cohort access limited.
Speaking
Speaking engagements
Keynotes, motivational talks and lectures on leadership, strengths and performance, shaped around your team or organization.
