We work with nonprofit and government leaders to create the future. We believe that every organization has the capacity to achieve greatness and have a lasting impact on communities, clients, cultures, or causes. We do not believe in the quick fix, the superficial plan, or the one-size-fits-all approach. We assist leaders in bringing about true change within their organizations, positioning them for long-term success.
Our strategic planning work—which we’ve done for such diverse organizations as the U.S. Olympians and Paralympians Association, Community Action Agencies, racial and ethnic affinity organizations, United Ways, and others—is based on the balanced scorecard approach, tailoring it to nonprofit and government organizations through use of logic models, funding streams, and other unique aspects of the public administration field.
By utilizing our methodology, nonprofit and government leaders are able to achieve greater success through focusing of resources and building cultures of accountability. We help leaders identify strategic outcomes and develop strategic goals. These outcomes are placed into a logic model framework for even greater ease of communication and implementation. We identify both internal and external potential barriers to success and work with CEOs and other leaders to overcome them. Our strategic planning always includes milestones and targets, deadlines and responsible parties, and activity calendars so that individual teams and staff members will know their particular role in the overall operations. We include multi-year and annual calendars, with month-by-month activities designed to achieve specific outcomes for ultimate success.
