Meet your new thought partner.

Strategy made for difference makers

You have big ideas; a project you’ve successfully launched that you want to take to the next level or a current strategic goal in need of an action plan. Maybe your idea is an “audacious” game changer that exists in your biggest dreams, and you know it’s ready for prime time.

Whatever its status, g³ strategy helps move good ideas to inspired impact, boosting your effort with authentic, custom solutions that help you and your team (1) identify, (2) develop, and (3) implement strategies to deliver sustainable performance growth and change. It’s a proven method that takes you from Gap to Goal to Good.

The g³ approach centers on learning as the key to performance, delivering the powerful Gap to Goal Framework, developed by Dr. Gretchen Jameson (2020) and based on the KMO gap analysis methodology created by Richard Clark, Ph.D. and Fred Estes, Ph.D (2008).

Whether you are looking for concept to completion strategic mapping and activation, capacity building to boost current efforts, or simply an hour of no-strings thought partnership, the distinctive g³ approach is worth your investment.

The Gap to Goal to Good Framework

Moving from where you are to where you want to be — going from Gap to Goal — requires the development of new knowledge, motivation, and organizational (KMO) factors. The g³ approach focuses on capacity building strategy and learning to equip you to master these critical factors

  • Going from where we are to where we want to be begins with what we do or do not (yet) know.

    Facts, procedures, and concepts equip us to move across our gaps. Ultimately, what we know and what we need to know influences our ability achieve our goals.

  • 90% of the work to achieve any project, strategic, or program goal ties to motivation. Motivation sparks and sustains performance, but you must plan for it.

    Often, well-designed project and strategic plans overlook this powerful driver.

    g³ strategy excels at identifying, developing, and implementing the right motivation strategies to complement your efforts and propel you to your performance goal.

  • The culture and climate of our organization or context influences performance.

    g³ strategy considers how an individual or organization’s systemic well-being (flourishing), contributes to strategic success.

    Drawing from Harvard University’s Flourishing Model and Josh Bersin’s work on the Irresistible Organization, g³ incorporates strategies that boost flourishing factors to ensure your Gap to Goal strategic success.

“When we discover and embrace what we need to know, believe, and do to move toward our goals, we exponentially elevate ideas that change the world. ”

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL

GRETCHEN M. JAMESON, ED.D.

Thank you for exploring g³ strategy.™️ 

More than a strategic or operational plan, difference makers (like you) need development pathways—space for new ways of thinking and believing— and partners willing to think with you and help you move along your journey. That’s the role g³ plays: part thought partner, part strategist-for-hire, and — in some ways — part teacher.

g³ moves you, and your biggest and best ideas, from Gap to Goal to GOOD.

I created this project to close my own gap between the good I want to do and the difference the world needs me to make. I believe learning transforms people and organizations. And I’ve seen it happen again and again throughout my career. My potential comes alive when I help people realize their incredible capacity for impact.

What about you? What difference does the world need you to make? How can I help?

Learning about ourselves and others, our organizations and our communities, elevates ideas into real impact. This is why a learning-based approach to strategy and performance makes so much sense. Learning changes the world, and it changes us. 

Let’s get started.

Let’s do good work.
