Our Philosophy
SOLVE THE RIGHT PROBLEM.
Investing the time, energy and effort in identifying the right problem up front saves countless hours on the back-end wondering why the needle hasn't moved. We believe in embedding ourselves in all aspects of the organization, exploring the challenges, symptoms, inputs and outside influences up-front so we know which solution path is most appropriate.
STRATEGY IS AT THE HEART OF A FULFILLED MISSION.
Strategy development is a continuous work-in-progress; never a one-time project. Smart strategies aligned with mission, culture, tactics and metrics can create profound synergy, leverage resources, and provide a disciplined guidance in times of uncertainty and/or growth. And to design and implement smart strategy, we never under-appreciate that every person in an organization, from CEO to Receptionist, is a strategic contributor and leader.
VISION DRAWS US TO THE WORLD WE WANT; ACTIONABLE ADVICE TAKES US THERE.
Consulting opinions with conviction and truth-telling should be expected. Actionable, realistic advice though is where the value of a nonprofit or start-up consulting relationship lives, thrives and earns its keep.
PROGRESS REQUIRES PATIENCE.
Change is on-going, never easy, and as mentioned previously, rarely pretty. But it's almost always worth whatever pain and stress it causes along the way. We believe in the power of patience as a tool to maintain perspective and monitor performance.
SOLID BRIDGES ARE BUILT FROM FLEXIBLE PERSPECTIVES.
Collaboration, communication and commitment; the building blocks for getting from Point A to Point B. We believe they are universally essential in establishing productive relationships for long-term accomplishment.
GOOD INTENTIONS BREED GREAT RESULTS.
Intentions alone won't get you where you want to go, but intentions with conviction, passion and perseverance stand the best chance of success when times get tough. We believe good intentions are the cornerstone of healthy organizations and successful partnerships. They can be the one connective thread and common ground that unify teams in purpose and action.
