Not for Profit

Today’s changing demographics, political and economic pressures are placing severe demands upon social service organizations, cultural institutions and business trade associations alike.

More than ever, there is a need for not-for-profit organizations to refine, or even redefine, their mission to examine why they exist, for whom they provide value and in what ways they create that value.

Our business consultants offer the following services for not for profit organisations:

Services

Strategy - We help Boards and management teams formulate and execute strategy.

Leadership - We coach and educate managers and frontline staff to help them develop as leaders and business managers.

Talent and Career Development - We help leaders effectively utilise and develop their people resources.

Strategy

While most not-for-profit organizations usually devote significant time and energy to annual planning and budgeting, too few commit the time to true strategic planning—to evaluating their mission, creating and empowering a vision of how the mission will be accomplished over the next number of years and then, most importantly, to implementing the vision.

Partnercorp business consultants work closely with such organizations to help facilitate this very important process. Understanding that momentum is critical, they work with their clients’ management teams and boards as part of a process that invites broad participation and open-minded thinking to facilitate the development of actionable plans, assigned responsibilities and the will to get things done.

The clear goal is to help client organisations bridge the “strategy gap” to take them from where they are to where they could be.

Our planning process produces a simple yet comprehensive document that is easy to understand and implement.

Leadership

Not ForProfit’s invariably operate under incredible pressure as they continually strive to cope with multiple demands and to deliver to numerous deadlines.

Business coaching is therefore particularly relevant to Not For Profit’s.

Our one on one development programs can assist managers and frontline staff gain clarity and balance in their approach while growing their skills in issue management, marketing and continuous improvement techniques.

This process is also an important tool in assisting in the implementation of the strategic plan.  Under the direct supervision of the CEO our business consultants partner with the key ‘implementers’ to ensure each strategy is realised in an efficient and timely manner.

We also have extensive experience in delivering a broader facilitation and presentations service at Board retreats, staff and industry conferences.
