Grow your impact by working with experienced organizational development consultants.

Help your nonprofit – and every member of your team – to reach their full potential with proven strategies that conform to your organization’s unique culture, helping you become stronger, more resilient, and more effective in advancing your mission.

Change Management

Many nonprofits and foundations work to effect social change yet struggle with internal transformation. Our team of seasoned consultants makes this process more manageable. ADAPT is our industry-tested change management tool, based on decades of helping clients to see things in new ways, stay ahead of trends, and take advantage of emerging opportunities – even as the internal or external landscape shifts.

Board & Leadership Development

Effective foundation and nonprofit leadership begins at the top. Leadership is not a position, but a set of skills and behaviors that both set an example and guide an organization forward. Our practical and flexible approach to leadership development helps nonprofit and foundation executives, management teams, and boards sharpen their skills to guide their teams to think more strategically, work more effectively, and generate greater impact.

Learning Program Design

Effective learning helps your grantees generate greater lasting impact. By blending adult learning principles with our deep sector experience, we collaborate with foundations to design customized learning programs for grantees that produce enduring impact.

Training & Presentations

Inspire your teams and re-invigorate your approach to making change. Our expert trainers and presenters deliver webinars and conduct workshops that help your organization apply practical solutions to achieve tangible results. From presentations on emerging trends to training on proven methodologies for organizational development, we help the social sector think ahead to stay ahead.

Capacity Building

We work collaboratively with funders to create and deliver capacity-building programs that help grantees and community leaders become stronger and better prepared to take advantage of previously unseen opportunities. Our experienced consultants guide you through practical processes to align strategy, structure, and culture to speed the advancement of your mission.
