ARTOV helps for-purpose leaders across Aotearoa build strategy that is clear enough to lead from, flexible enough to adapt, and grounded enough to execute.
Strategy & Governance Review
The opportunity
By 5 October 2026, all registered charities must complete a governance review under the Charities Amendment Act 2023.
Charities will need to confirm completion in their annual return.
As part of this governance review, we are offering charities a number of strategic planning services. These can be found on our strategic planning platform thinksprint™

Strategy & Governance Review
Built for organisations that matter
Built for you
ARTOV works with for-purpose leaders across Aotearoa who are doing important work and who deserve strategy that matches their ambition. We know your context. The funding uncertainty. The board accountabilities. The mission that drives you even when the system doesn’t.
We built our strategic planning platform thinksprint™ because traditional consulting is too expensive, too slow, and too disconnected from the day-to-day reality of running a mission-driven organisation. Strategy should be accessible. We made it that way.
”The best way to predict the future is to create it
Peter Drucker
The Problem We Solve
Your mission is clear. Your strategy isn’t.
Ask yourself:
- Do we have a clear picture of where we’re going in the next three years?
- Is our board aligned on what success actually looks like?
- If the funding landscape shifted tomorrow, would we know what to do?
- Are we investing our limited resources in the right places?
- Are we building strategy or just reacting to circumstances?
If you answered ‘no’ to one or more of these questions, we can help.
Our Solution
DECODER™
We treat strategy like a design project.
DECODER™ is our seven-stage framework, developed across two decades of real work with organisations like yours. It draws strategy out from within your organisation, through structured thinking, the right questions, and a process that builds alignment as it builds direction.
D — Discover
E — Examine
C — Conceptualise
O — Optimise
D — Develop
E — Execute
R — Review
You don’t have to start at the beginning. Most organisations enter DECODER™ at the stage that matches where they are right now. Some start with a Review of an existing strategy. Others begin with Discover because they’re starting fresh. The framework meets you where you are.
We have built this framework into our strategic planning platform thinksprint™. Each stage is accessible, affordable, and fast, without cutting corners on the thinking.
Real Results from Real Leaders:
“The platform was incredibly user-friendly, allowing us to seamlessly involve the entire organisation in the strategic planning process. This inclusive approach ensured that every voice was heard, fostering a sense of ownership and alignment across the team.”
