At Sterling Advising, our work is rooted in clarity, intentionality, and excellence. We use two complementary frameworks, SILVER and ALIGNED, to guide our clients from vision to execution and ensure long-term alignment and impact.

Our methodology drives the strategic process. It ensures that every initiative, no matter how big or small, flows from a clear vision and is implemented with alignment, accountability, and agility.

The Sterling Approach

SILVER ensures we’re not just doing things right but doing the right things.

Use the “SILVER when you need:

  • Strategic planning

  • Organizational transformation

  • Vision-to-action planning

  • Priority-setting or annual goal alignment

Once the vision and strategy are in place, we use the ALIGNED framework to ensure internal operations activate the strategy:

Where SILVER focuses on the strategic process, ALIGNED ensures that the organizational culture and operations are optimized for sustained alignment and impact. It’s a diagnostic and design framework used to assess where an organization stands and what adjustments are needed to stay on course.

Use ALIGNED when you need:

  • Organizational assessments

  • Culture and capacity alignment

  • Operational optimization

  • Team and leadership development
