Structural Changes in Hard Times

• Over the past few years, nonprofit human service organizations have been treated to a rather constant barrage of input regarding the need to collaborate, consolidate, affiliate or somehow ally their organizations with others.
• There have even been a few notable examples (both successes and failures) of mergers and other affiliations.
• Many nonprofits have relegated these warning signals to the relatively slow and safe process of "long range strategic planning".
• Those days are gone!! The current market environment for human services has gone from difficult to, in some cases, disastrous.
• Many nonprofits need to adapt their organizations NOW - in order to pursue their vision and maintain a relevant mission.

We are experienced consultants to nonprofit human service organizations who can help executive staff and boards to:

• Quickly understand the challenges.
• Understand the options / potential restructuring alternatives.
• Build a fast-track strategic action plan.
• Consider the pitfalls.
• Develop criteria for moving ahead that protect Vision and Values.
• Facilitate external discussions.
• Guide a restructuring process.
• Assist in maximizing the benefits of restructuring
