Charity / Third Sector > Consultancy
Not for profits currently face many strategic issues - here are some examples of where we have been asked to advise.
Charity strategy: mergers, partnerships, joint ventures
A charity, small in terms of personnel and infrastructure, yet large in terms of income, was approached by a larger charity with similar aims in terms of social impact. The smaller of the two charities was unclear about its options in terms of merging. More
Charity strategy: as for-profit and not-for-profit worlds combine, where are we?
We help you to 'blank piece of paper' review where your charity is, where it needs to be, and whether it needs to change or adapt or finesse its current practices in order to get there.
Legal structures - charity vs social enterprise; not for profit vs profit
A charity finds that the work that it does can not be done as efficiently as another organisation, which is profit making, is doing. It is losing income from its projects as a result. More
International development projects
Using the expertise and many years' experience of Stefanie Shedd in this field, we are able to help develop strategies, manage international projects and implement assessments of collaborative relationships for our clients.
Board effectiveness
We work with boards of trustees, and operational boards, who need to ensure that their role and effectiveness is at optimum in terms of performance. We conduct awaydays, skills programmes and provide mentoring and coaching for boards.
Ensuring your teams deliver on the organisation's goals
We work with you to ensure that you attract and develop the best people for the organisation. We design and ensure that performance management and skills development programmes are in place and are rigorous. We are able to design, and to deliver, internal and external coaching and mentoring programmes.
Ensuring that your management and business systems are 'joined up'
We find that organisations most often fail to be as effective as they might be because the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. It matters not whether an organisation is for profit or not for profit - finance, IT, stakeholder relationships and people management issues must be able to be harnessed, together, to deliver on strategic goals. We work within organisations to achieve this.
