Organizational Development

Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is a participatory process that organizations undertake to define strategy, or direction, and make decisions on the allocation of resources to pursue this strategy. Strategic planning should be a dynamic process involving people/stakeholders internal and external to the organization. The process should scan the environment the organization operates in and assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It should identify any strategic issues that need to be considered. Strategic planning helps an organization to remain relevant and responsive to the needs of its community, and contributes to organizational health, stability and growth.

Operational Planning

Lead your team to success. Operational planning is an important process to embed in the culture, practice and systems toolbox of your organization. Operational plans allow everyone in the organization to see how operations align with strategic priorities and support leaders and managers to effectively execute against the goals and objectives which advance the organizations mission. The process of operational planning strengthens leadership teams and helps leaders communicate across the entire organization. Operational plans support accountability and allow you to measure your success.

Having worked with many organizations, we have developed proprietary tools and processes that can be introduced quickly. Give us a call to find out more.

Organizational & Program - Review | Assessment | Design

How do you know you are achieving your mission and the outcomes you have set? Are you allocating resources – both human and financial – in the right places? Do you have the right structure in place? When was the last time you spent time assessing organizational design?

Organizational review and assessment may seem like a daunting task, but it is essential to ensure your ongoing organizational learning, accountability and achievement of desired impact. The evidence shows us that effective organizations demonstrate strength in five key areas: leadership, decision-making and structure; people, work processes and systems; and culture.

Having the solid systems and tools in place are critical. Building capacity to manage and execute these processes is essential. We offer a full range of assessment and evaluation services. Give us a call to discuss your unique needs.
