We want social entrepreneurs to be keen operators, so they can change the world…and still have room to breathe.
WHY…
is the good you want to see in the world. It drives you toward internal change, local transformation, national impact, or global reach.
WHAT…
is the good you, your team, or your organization / business does. That could be a key objective, a project or program to launch or scale, or a change to implement.
is what gets you there. We focus on the tools, practices, and systems that make things work.
You know why. You know what. We know How.
We make ops easier.
We embed within mission-driven orgs to install the people, practices, and systems—the operational formation—that make the work actually work.
We do this in four ways:
Implementation & Adoption
We manage core projects from kick-off to close.
When you need it done, we have project managers who get it done. We do comprehensive management of high-impact projects and produce core outputs and outcomes.
Fractional Operators
We work with your team from
within your team.
We place fractional operators within organizations and/ businesses. They add bandwidth and fix processes today, while making recommendations for tomorrow.
Search
We find your full-time
key implementers.
Using an equitable and transparent process, we recruit from diverse applicant pools and find operators (Executive Directors, COO’s, Executive Assistants, and Project Managers). We also manage all the logistics of the recruitment process so you don’t have to.
Ops Training
We train on
tools you’ll use.
We provide practical, people-friendly, customized training to make work easier, more fun, and more efficient. We focus on practices, processes, and tools that make work feel less like work.
Leveraging expertise in operations, finance, technology, and talent, we integrate advice into all engagements.
Throughout, we advise on the right How for right now.
