Hello!

I'm so pleased that you've stopped by to learn how RL Strategies can help your organization define and achieve success. 

I have developed exceptional analytical and communication skills through years of professional experience in government, political, post-secondary and non-profit sectors. I leverage my well-rounded background and thoughtful perspective to simplify and streamline complex projects. 

Bien que mes services professionals soient principalement offerts en anglais, je suis fonctionellement bilingue et je m'engage à aider les organisations francophones à travailler, à vivre et à prospérer dans leur langue officielle. Discutons de la manière dont nous pourrions travailler ensemble dans cet esprit. 

If you have a project that could benefit from strategic support, let's talk.

Raili Lakanen, PhD, MScPl
Founder and Principal Consultant 

Approach & Values

I approach every new project with an open mind and an analytical eye. I work closely with your team to understand what you hope to accomplish, and provide strategies for realizing these objectives.  

I recognize and foster relationships - between data, objectives, and people - to achieve positive outcomes. No project occurs in a vacuum. 

I am guided by core professional principles of integrity, confidentiality, consideration, and reliability. 

Sudbury, ON

I respectfully acknowledge that I am a settler person living and working in the lands of Atikameksheng Anishnawbek, signatories to the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850. I continue to listen and actively learn how I may contribute to reconciliation in a good way.
