Passion. Experience. Diligence.
A mission-driven consulting practice that works with organizational leaders to determine the issues at hand and then design projects that result in actionable change. The practice is values-driven and focused on intended impact—challenging leaders to use intended impact, not generic notions of best practice, based on all key decisions.
Board Development. We develop governance models and development processes that answer an organization's desired impact and current priorities first. Then, we explore the board's leadership potential and how to maximize the talent, skills, resources, and interests around the table. We also assist Boards in realizing their diversity goals.
Contract Drafting, Review, and Negotiation. From initial review to final negotiation, we provide comprehensive support to ensure your contracts align with your business objectives and mitigate potential risks. With meticulous attention to detail and strategic insight, we empower clients to navigate complex agreements with confidence and clarity.
Strategic Planning. Our strategic planning begins with a deep analysis of the organization's current business model. Then we begin developing a true strategy, defined as a set of decisions that position a nonprofit to achieve its greatest programmatic impact in a financially sustainable manner. We also help organizations develop an organizational theory of change, articulating the problem or issue the organization exists to solve, its strategies across its programming, what results it wants to contribute to, and what values undergird all of its work decision-making.
Leadership Development. We believe leadership excellence and continuity are essential to sustaining a nonprofit’s ability to achieve its community mission. As such, we help organizations recruit an executive with the experience and skills to pursue their strategic vision. It then moves to develop your talent pipeline so that there are staff members prepared to step into leadership positions when departures occur, planned, and unplanned. The third stop in the cycle is succession planning, a set of activities that ensure no loss of momentum at the point of transition from a current leader to their successor
