PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
From idea generation to implementation, our consultants guide our clients through the stages of program development including communication strategies, project management, assessment, and budgeting.
RESEARCH
Our consultants hone research questions, conduct comprehensive literature reviews, and engage in inquiries using interviews, focus-groups, surveys, and data analysis. We are capable of quick, focused question-answering and more engaged, multi-methods exploration that strengthens your organization’s strategic thinking.
SUCCESSION PLANNING
Succession planning is a necessary component of an organization’s leadership planning. Our consultants can proactively facilitate a staff-board plan that builds leadership, documents knowledge, and positions your organization for long-term success and sustainability. (When necessary we also provide “just-in-time” succession services.)
MERGER SUPPORT
Our consultants play the roles of facilitator, content experts, and coach throughout all phases of the merger including “breaking the ice” conversations, exploring options, conducting due diligence, having productive but difficult conversation, making (sometimes unpopular) pivotal decisions, and engaging in negotiations that are advantageous for as many stakeholders as possible. Our consultants provide leadership coaching throughout this often-difficult process.
TEAM BUILDING
We work with teams to celebrate strengths and identify and overcome weaknesses. We support the ongoing development of strong communication practices and working relationships. The result is a shared commitment to organizational goals and increased performance at the individual, team, and organizational levels.
OPERATIONALIZING COLLABORATIONS
Our consultants help partners align values and vision, develop theories of change, and document roles and responsibilities. Resulting operating agreements support strong, continuing collaborative work between collaborations of all sizes, within and across sectors.
