Our Services
So, you want to make it through a major organizational transition? We help nonprofits do just that - with their integrity and mission intact. I created the kate harris group to help organizations and leaders navigate their way through change. Whether you’re building a growth strategy or seizing an opportunity, it starts with purpose and vision.
If you are at a crossroads but envisioning a brighter future than the one right in front of you, I’ve designed the following process for you.
Discover
The discovery process illuminates potential opportunities and - discretely - opens up dialogue with potential partners without the risk of a long term commitment.
Learn about affiliation structures that fit your organizational model
Strengthen relationships
Reach consensus on next steps
Assess
A Readiness Assessment explores three organizational dimensions:
Programs: the activities you engage in to achieve your mission
Processes: how you go about doing the work
People: everyone who makes the work possible from staff and volunteers to board leadership and the constituencies you serve
Affiliate
For organizations who are ready to commit, we use a participatory model to walk you through each step in the process:
Negotiate the terms of your collaboration in ways that strengthen your relationships
Implement with the help of key processionals like legal, accounting, and human resources
Integrate in ways that nurture organizational culture and operationalize your values
