How it works
Our process.
Whether you’re looking for support in the form of consulting or coaching, our process broadly follows the same six steps so you know what to expect from start to finish. This six-step process has been honed over the course of dozens of collaborations with our amazing clients and is designed to help you maximize the value of working with us.
1.
Discovery
The process begins with a conversation – or series of conversations, if needed – to allow you to clarify your needs, goals, and current challenges. Only after we gain a solid understanding of where you are and where you’d like to be do we move to Step 2.
2.
Research and co-creation
Step 2 of the process is our opportunity to clarify the scope of your project based on the available evidence. This step involves research, analysis, and strategic assessment to identify opportunities and risks and to agree on the best way forward to achieve your objectives.
3.
Strategy and planning
Based on the findings and agreed way forward defined in step 2, we develop a comprehensive strategy that aligns with your objectives. This includes defining the approach, timing, and key milestones of the project, defining what success looks like. When you sign off on the plan, we move to Step 3.
4.
Develop and execute
The mutually agreed strategy is brought to life through thoughtful project development and careful implementation. A collaborative way of working ensures that every detail meets your requirements and expectations.
5.
Review, reflect, optimize
Built-in governance mechanisms with regular touch-points allow us to jointly and continuously monitor performance and gather feedback to refine and improve execution. The iterative process ensures long-term success and impact.
6.
Debrief and handover
As part of our core commitment to leave increased capability behind, the debrief and handover done in this step facilitates your continued forward momentum beyond the period of our collaboration, so you can optimize the effectiveness and efficiency of your ongoing work.
About RM3 Consulting
All in for the flourishing of all forms of Life!
Hi! I’m Kandi Shejavali. Inspired by the vision of sustainable prosperity (i.e., societies where everyone thrives within planetary boundaries), I founded RM3 Consulting as an enterprise dedicated to elevating the efforts of mission-driven leaders as they seek to make the world a better place.
How?
By helping them build structure into their programs and run them for impact – that way, they can know, not just hope, that the difference they’re making is the one they intended, speak to their impact with integrity, and be accountable to their funders (who are often, ultimately, the everyday taxpayer).
As a graduate of the Wagner School of Public Service at New York University (NYU), my experience includes collaborations on dozens of programs run by international development agencies, foundations, nonprofits, and governments across multiple sectors, all seeking to improve societal conditions for more widespread wellbeing. I leverage this rich, world-class expertise and deep, first-hand experience to help my amazing clients navigate evolving contexts while delivering measurable results, qualify for and retain funding, and deepen impact.
And that’s not all. After years of independent learning about regenerative economy principles, I’m currently pursuing the Lift Economy MBA to be better equipped to advise public and private sector leaders on how to meaningfully translate commitment to environmental and social justice into practical, impactful action that creates conditions in which all forms of Life can flourish within planetary limits.
This enables the clients I work with to benefit from comprehensive specialized expertise, innovative perspectives, and tailored solutions as they envision, implement, and assess policies and programs that ensure the flourishing of all forms of Life.
I’m excited at the possibility of collaborating with you to help you reach your progam’s objectives! Don’t hesitate to reach out with your project need.

Deep commitment to regenerative (socio-)economy principles
We’re committed co-creating an economic system that enables all segments of humanity to flourish without destroying the planet and its biodiversity. Leaning on our own and our collaborators’ expertise in regenerative (socio-)economy principles, we advise public and private sector leaders on how to meaningfully translate their commitment to environmental and social justice into practical, impactful action that creates conditions in which all forms of Life can flourish within planetary limits.
A unique, values-grounded process
As we guide you from where you are to where you’d like to be in your quest to make the world a better place, we are ourselves guided by a commitment to excellence and by values of inclusion, deep listening, and collaborative action. What that translates to for you: with each project, we co-create the parameters, and you get responsive support built around your specific context and needs, with deadlines actively managed and respected. Along the way, we bring healthy doses of empathy and lightheartedness to help even the most overstretched leader achieve program success and thrive.
Rich cross-sectoral international experience
Our work has spanned multiple sectors. Having successfully collaborated on programs funded by various bilateral and multilateral international development agencies, foundations, and other entities and implemented in Africa, Asia, Eurasia, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and the Pacific, we know how to adapt to different requirements and contexts and have both remote and in-country experience.
RM3’s secret (spicy!) sauce
A deep commitment to regenerative (socio-)economy principles, a unique, values-grounded process, and rich experience are elements that set RM3 Consulting apart.
