Our Recipe for Successful Partnership

Strategic Plan Development

Strategic plans serve as a roadmap to guide the work of an organization and communicate its priorities.

Does your organization need to develop a new strategic plan, or update an existing one? 
We can help you undertake strategic planning and plan for the future by:

  • Delivering internal workshops to define your organizational mission and vision
  • Assessing the organization’s current state, using tools such as SWOT and PESTLE analysis
  • Developing specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound (SMART) goals
  • Creating an action plan with strategies and tactics that are aligned with current financial, technological and human resources capacity
  • Monitoring and evaluating progress

Program Design

The program design is the key determinant of the initiative’s success.

Does your organization need to develop a new program or are you trying to redesign an existing initiative? Are you looking for support on how to do this? 

We can help you create a program or reimagine an existing initiative from conception to implementation. Our team can assist you by:

  • Defining program goals and anticipated outcomes
  • Determining required resources
  • Developing a program logic model
  • Defining success measures and program metrics
  • Monitoring and evaluating progress 

Program Evaluation

Understanding how a program performs or potential areas for improvement is important to demonstrate impacts and ongoing funding requests.

Does your organization want to understand if an existing initiative is performing as intended? Do you need to complete an external evaluation of a program for an external funder?

We can help you to systematically evaluate a program using tailored methods including formative, summative, impact and performance. Our team can assist you by:

  • Designing a rigorous program evaluation methodology
  • Developing evaluation methods including surveys, interview guides, and performance measurement frameworks
  • Undertaking data collection including qualitative and quantitative analysis
  • Identifying program impact, strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement
  • Completing required report backs tailored to funder requirements

Continuous Process Improvement

A resilient organization has processes in place to periodically examine internal systems to identify areas for enhancement and long-term sustainability.

Is your organization looking to strengthen the effectiveness of existing organizational processes? Are you looking to improve your performance and quality of service? 

We can help you to assess the current state of your organization and uncover opportunities for optimization. Our team can assist you by:

  • Delivering internal workshops to document current processes and workflows
  • Undertaking value stream and customer journey mapping 
  • Defining existing challenges and goals
  • Collecting data to understand current performance
  • Analyzing root causes of difficulties
  • Recommending solutions to address challenges
  • Developing monitoring tools to maintain improvements

Policy Analysis and Development

Effective, forward-looking policies are essential foundations to guide the work of organizations.

Does your organization need to develop a new organizational policy or are you trying to revise an existing initiative? Are you looking for support on how to do this? 

We can help you develop or refine policies that address your unique needs and goals through an evidence based, equity focused lens. Our team can assist you through all stages of policy analysis and development including:

  • Problem identification to define the policy objective or issue to be addressed 
  • Research including jurisdictional scans, qualitative and quantitative data collection
  • Policy options outlining the range of interventions and trade-offs based upon factors including cost, risk, time, and ease of implementation
  • Stakeholder consultation to gather feedback on options and incorporate insights
  • Policy implementation plan, and communication
  • Monitoring and Evaluation

Grant Writing and Proposal Development

External funding is often essential to deliver programs, but it can be competitive to secure.

Are you looking to craft a strong and compelling grant application? Need help searching for funding opportunities?

We can help your organization locate grant opportunities that align with your project goals and create a tailored, strong application. We do this by:

  • Identifying existing funding opportunities
  • Analyzing eligibility criteria, deadlines and program guidelines
  • Developing a funding proposal including project description, scope, activities, budget, and evaluation plan
  • Collecting all required supporting documents and ensuring on time submission
  • Communicating with the external funder if required

Risk Assessment

Identifying and analysing risks that could negatively impact your organization supports proactive decision making to mitigate these vulnerabilities and protect your goals.

Does your organization want to understand potential risks? Do you want to be prepared to reduce or eliminate potential harm to your organization?

We help organizations to identify, assess, and prioritize potential risks that may impact the project, analyzing their likelihood and impact, and developing strategies to mitigate or manage these risks to ensure successful implementation, compliance and outcomes. We do this by:

  • Identifying potential internal and external risks such as physical, financial, operational, environmental or cybersecurity
  • Determining what part of the organization may be affected
  • Evaluating and prioritizing the risks based on likelihood and impact
  • Creating and implementing control measures to eliminate or mitigate

Evaluation Coaching

An organization looking to improve its internal evaluation capacity may benefit from personalized coaching support.

Do you need help to develop your evaluation framework or logic model? Not sure if you are choosing the right method or developed the right tools for data collection?

We support organizations building their capacity to conduct evaluations including:

  • Skills Development – designing evaluation frameworks, logic models or theories of change
  • Data Collection Tools – refining interview guides and surveys, data visualization
  • Writing Support – polishing evaluation reports, drafting Request for Proposals (RFP)
