Organizational Planning

The potential that a board of an organization envisions can be a reality through accurate and suitable organizational planning.
Organizational planning is the continuous process of systematically making plans with the greatest possible knowledge of the future, organizing the activities needed to carry out those plans, and monitoring the results of the plans through feedback. This process will enable your organization to determine its destination, path, and how to administer changes along the way.
As result, there are many benefits for your organization to invest time and resources in a planning process, some of these benefits are:

• Achieving clarity and agreement on the organization’s mission and vision
• Building a more participative board and membership by being aligned on the same purpose
• Practicing effective stewardship
• Anticipating and effectively managing change
• Being strategic in decision-making and problem-solving
• Building on existing strengths of the organization
• Overcoming existing weaknesses
• Responding to opportunities as an organization
• Identifying and blocking threats
• Continuously improving processes within the organization
• Maintaining a healthy competitive advantage
• Maintaining a balance between people (relationships), process (the way things are done), and product (results)

Project Management Cycle

A project is a series of activities that have a limited time for completion with a specific outcome in mind. A significant number of projects fail because their success is compromised in some manner such as: going over budget, falling behind schedule, or failing to deliver the expected outcome, etc.
Project management is a process that balances the elements of time, money, monitoring, and execution to reach a specific goal.
Project Management coaching sessions will be provided to explore a step by step process from initiating, implementation to completion of a project, including the various components of a well-planned project, work breakdown structures, risk management plan, monitoring plan and more.
We partner with you throughout your project,since the establishment of a project proposal and until the project’s successful closure. We provide valuable information on project plans, upcoming activities, and methods to achieve successful implementation. We offer a variety of project management and coordination options to help ensure your team has the capacity to manage the scope, timeline, and resources of any project.
