Analysis/Strategic Planning.
To Succeed, a non-profit must “say what they do and do what they say.” At the same time, when focused on the daily tasks, it’s easy to lose sight of priorities and keep everything on track.
First and foremost, a non-profit needs a clearly articulated North Star so that everyone involved is moving toward. In addition, they need to regularly evaluate what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing.
My work in assessment, facilitation, and strategic planning helps organizations take a hard look at themselves by researching and presenting key information so they can be a more effective organization tomorrow than they are today.
I focus on helping you clarifying your mission and/or optimize your financial, human, facility, and technology resources to achieve your goals effectively and efficiently.
Areas of focus include:
-
Strategic Plans
-
Evaluating sustainability of existing and potential programs
-
Conducting financial audits to identify areas of stress and develop areas of improvement
-
Assessing and optimizing employee benefits
-
Guiding community conversations to imagine new sources of revenue
