Stabilize
Best for: crisis or transition, dropped handoffs, too many fire-drill weeks
What you’ll get
-
A simple picture of what’s on your plate and what’s tripping you up
-
Weekly meetings that speed decision making
-
Clear owners for work and clean handoffs between teams
-
Org and department dashboards that everyone actually reviews together (with metrics that matter to your org and to your funders)
-
A short list of milestones with acceptance criteria
Why it helps people
Calmer weeks, fewer surprises, less finger-pointing, more time for mission work.
It's a human-focused design meant to empower your people and help everyone align with the mission.
Transition
Best for: plans that don’t get implemented, too many priorities, stalled progress
What you’ll get
-
Shared ways-of-working so teams move together and not in silos
-
Simple prioritization so leaders aren't starting too much at once
-
Cross-team handoff checklists to reduce rework and delays
-
Metrics that show gaps and progress
-
Training for internal leads so the system runs without continuous leader input
Why it helps people
Clarity about what’s next, kinder workload, visible progress that builds on itself to instill organizational confidence.
Sustainability
Best for: keeping good habits alive without adding pressure
What you’ll get
-
Light check-ins to keep rhythms healthy
-
Milestone reviews and course corrections when needed
-
Dashboard hygiene so signals stay honest and useful for your team and your funders
-
On-call help for board/funder asks, staffing, or even to help with vendor choices
Why it helps people
Steady follow-through, fewer last-minute scrambles, a team that improves at a pace that fits your culture.
This work is often supported through local capacity-building grants, and I’m experienced in aligning my engagements with funder expectations and reporting needs.
