Organizational Strategy

Leadership Development: Pathways and Coaching

Your people need to know where they stand and what their professional trajectory is within the organization. Have you ever lost a rockstar team member and know you could have done more to retain them? Competency-based leadership development pathways allow your people to focus on growth areas and future professional skills, and allow you to assess your internal pipelines. This can be done in conjunction with already existing professional development or performance processes. Management coaching is a key tool to ensure that your less experienced managers are maximizing the growth of their direct reports. Building talent pathways and coaching your people will foster a stronger overall culture.

Internal Policies and Systems

You don’t know what you don’t know…until you know it. By then, you’re usually between a rock and a hard place. Maybe new policies were created as challenges and questions came up, but now there are bits and pieces of policies without any continuity or alignment. Perhaps your organization grew rapidly from a single site team of five to a multiple site organization of over 100. Do all the policies and internal systems ensure stability, sound and compliant practices, and equity for your staff? Proactive measures, such as policy and process audits, are always better for your people and the organization than urgent reactions.

Org Development and Strategic Planning

We all know what it feels like to “build a plane as you’re flying it”…”a train as it barrels down the tracks”…you name it. Whenever you’re in one fiscal year striving to meet benchmarks and goals, and dealing with ongoing challenges, you also have to look ahead. You have to simultaneously plan for the next fiscal year and do growth mapping for your teams and organization. Sometimes this requires making hard decisions and it becomes difficult to think objectively when you are in the thick of the work and relationships. We help ask the critical, tough questions and create multiple options to help you strategize where your organization will go over the next several years.

Project Management

Operations

We provide operational capacity to support you and your team so that so that you can focus on strategy and execution, knowing that somebody is thinking about the operational details and keeping things on track.  

  • Fractional Operations Leader: If your operations staff is temporarily on leave or you have a current vacancy, we can step in to provide seamless operational support and expertise until the role is filled again. 

  • Operations Expertise: Small to mid-size organizations sometimes don’t have the budget to have a dedicated operations leader. We can provide general operational expertise through a customized partnership agreement. 

Project Lead

When organizations have specific strategic projects, annual events, or have one-off initiatives that are grant-funded, they sometimes don’t have the capacity on their staff for somebody to be the project manager, without sacrificing capacity for team members. We can step in to lead as a project manager and maintain capacity across the team. 

  • Event Planning: Our team has expertise in event planning and execution and can help ensure that your events happen smoothly.

  • Project Management: We can slot team members in to lead projects in a range of industries and content areas.
