Regardless of your theory of change, strategy, or goals, running an effective organization and having a strong collaborative culture is paramount to achieving your mission. We support mission-driven organizations across the public, private, and non-profit sectors to diagnose, design, and implement initiatives that help to strengthen their organizational foundation. We work across complex situations, including supporting organizations working in and for fragile and conflict-affected states, and bring a nuanced understanding of what it means to run a successful organization – large or small – in challenging external circumstances. Our approach puts people at the center, and we are consistently identifying ways to empower staff, build culture, and ensure principles of diversity, equity and inclusion are built into the structures and processes we recommend.
- We conduct organizational diagnostics that help senior management teams identify pain points in organizational structure, processes, and culture and work collaboratively to develop actionable solutions that address the root causes
- We support organizations in their strategic planning to ensure their organizational structure, team structures, capabilities, working norms, and processes align with their vision, mission, and goals and ensure greater responsiveness to the needs of the communities and populations that they serve
- We help newer and/or fast-growing organizations to design their next phase of organizational growth, providing them with the change management tools necessary to adapt to a changing environment and footprint
- We support organizations at moments of acute transformation – be it a funding windfall, a merger, or a new collaborative partnership – to design the most effective team structures to help them not just adjust to the new normal, but thrive in it
- We work with clients to improve their overall governance structures, including building stronger Board relationships, assessing and designing effective hosting arrangements, improving the effectiveness and structures of the senior leadership team, and making organizations more resilient to external shocks
