Our firm partners with high performance organizations in the nonprofit, public and corporate sectors seeking to emerge from this recession with strengthened capabilities.
In tough times cutting back and hunkering down may be the reflexive response, but leaders realize that this is only a short term tactic that may not be sustainable. Cost cutting and restructuring are only the initial steps to ensure survival – in order to thrive, organizations will need to innovate and sometimes reinvent themselves.
We help clients to develop a clear understanding of what are the right things to do and how to do things right. This entails developing a clear mission and a well articulated strategy with buy in from key stakeholders. We help clients benchmark their organizations against the best practices of leadership entities.
We help clients make realistic assessment of organizational capacity to meet their strategic goals and how well they are performing against these requirements. This includes a review of the vision, mission, goals, operational efficiencies, people and infrastructure. We examine how our clients are leveraging resources at their disposal and how resource strapped organizations can tap into collaborative networks to increase impact. We assist with targeted ways to replicate success, through organic growth, mergers and acquisitions or through the proactive use of partners and alliances, including franchise models. Many nonprofits run into “funding walls” at various stages of their growth. We assist clients to develop innovative fundraising strategies to get past these funding walls.
