L4 Framework — Strategic Plan ImplementationTalk to us
// LET’S TALK

What’s not moving inyour strategic plan?

A no-charge 30-minute Dignity at Work Diagnostic conversation. A briefing for your board. A workshop with your executive team. Or a question that doesn’t fit a form. Lawrence reads everything before 17:00 PT and replies within one business day.

What ED’s
ask first.

The five questions that come up most often in Diagnostic conversations. Skip the form if your question is already filed below.

Do I have to use Gallup Q12 and CliftonStrengths?+

No. The framework is model-agnostic at the instrument layer. Where your organization already uses DISC, Predictive Index, an internal pulse survey, Brinkerhoff, or a different validated tool, L4 integrates with what you have. The architecture stays the same. The instruments are interchangeable.

Is this only for Community Action Agencies?+

CAAs are the home audience because the framework is built for organizations with active strategic plans, federal funding pressure, and stretched training budgets. Other mission-driven nonprofits, government agencies, and mid-size mission-driven hybrids fit the same pattern.

What's the difference between the Briefing and the Workshop?+

The Briefing is a 60 to 90-minute teaching session that explains the framework. The Workshop is a two-day engagement with your executive team that produces a Behavior Translation Document. Most clients meet L4 through a Briefing and decide whether to bring in the Workshop after.

Do you co-deliver with Dr. Hiner?+

Sometimes. Solo with Lawrence is the default for most CAA and nonprofit audiences. Co-presented makes sense when a board wants to see the shared authorship in person, particularly for higher-stakes engagements.

What does the Diagnostic conversation actually cost?+

Nothing. It's 30 minutes. By the end you have one observation worth your time, regardless of whether you decide to book any work. The framework belongs to you the moment you understand it.
