The Strategic Solutions Project
Workshops for Nonprofits and Funders
The board and the management team are the key players in any strategic
restructuring discussion. While we do not suggest that all nonprofits should
undertake strategic restructuring, we do see it as a tool that belongs
in every nonprofit leader's toolbox.
Funders also play a crucial role in nonprofit strategic restructuring.
They are often the first to recognize that particular nonprofits could
benefit from such an effort, but may be unclear on how to broach the subject
appropriately. On the other hand, a funder may be approached for grant
support of a strategic restructuring effort. How should such a proposal
be met? What questions should a funder ask?
Strategic Solutions developed a variety of workshops pertaining to different
aspects of strategic restructuring, focused on different audiences including
staff and board members of nonprofit organizations as well as private and
public funders. We’ve made hundreds of presentations on both introductory
and advanced topics, explaining the 'why,' 'when' and 'how' of a tool that
can help organizations coming from either positions of strength or positions
of weakness.
La Piana Associates is still available to provide workshops or conference
presentations on a fee-for-service basis. For more information, email info@lapiana.org.
