Truth and Reconciliation Action Plans

Rise supports organizations to co-create Truth and Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs), strategic plans which guide the journey and bring accountability and focus to the future as organizations advance Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion. The use of RAPs is a leading practice for corporations responding to Call to Action #92 and we design approaches recognizing that strategic planning for Reconciliation and inclusion takes intent and time. 

We work with our clients to manage and facilitate the process to gather resources and ideas to support the creation of areas of focus, goals, objectives, activities and measurable KPIs over an agreed timeframe. We ensure that all aspects are ambitious, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound and aligned with core services where they can truly influence their industry, nurture existing relationships and build new relationships with Indigenous Peoples, communities and organizations.

With a focus on Reconciliation, our team can assist with:

  • Readiness for RAP development
  • RAP development
  • RAP evaluation and improvement
  • RAP implementation
Truth and Reconciliation Action Plans

This advances Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion through: 

  • Organization-wide accountability
  • Knowledge and action to support positive advancement with Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenous inclusion
  • Strategy, governance and policy adopted at all levels and across all areas of the organization
  • Clear and consistent support from Indigenous Peoples, communities, organizations and businesses

Kind Words

“I have worked with Rise Consulting for four years, and I continue to recommend them to friends and colleagues working on advancing Truth and Reconciliation. What I love about Rise is that they are driving for real Reconciliation – not just performative actions. They want to ensure the organization is doing the work to embed the right practices and processes across the entire organization. They have helped us set guiding principles for our Reconciliation work that continue to drive our organization almost three years later. They are amazing thought partners and do a great job of meeting us where we are, including sharing guidance as we move through the CCIB PAIR Program, towards certification. They have helped us understand industry best practices from supplier diversity programs to employee programs. I am incredibly thankful for the relationships and friendships we have built with Annie and the team at Rise.”
