For Non-Profit Funders, in addition to Due Diligence, we offer a complete line of assessment and intervention services.

It's critical that all stakeholders are in explicit alignment around key issues.  Mission, strategy, and operating programs must all be clearly linked and focused.  Too often, words have multiple meanings and fuzzy articulations and ponderous cliches substitute for sharp-edged statements.  This assessment tests the degree of clarity and shared understanding across the strategic spectrum and up and down the organization.

Strategy is neither a document nor a collection of platitudes.  To be effective, a strategy must articulate and answer important questions, identify and state targets for meaningful measures, and outline critical iniatives, actions, and accountabilities.  World-class strategy formulation should be a focused and inclusive exercise and one that yields pragmatic results quickly and clearly.

Lofty mission statements don't matter if an organization is sloppy, wasteful, meandering, or relying on ancient goodwill for results.  Meaningful results come from well-managed and disciplined organizations.
This pragmatic assessment covers programs, management, costs, and personnel in an objective, caring, and rigorous fashion.
