"We found the organizational diagnostic to be extremely helpful. It helped us pinpoint our soft spots, so we knew what to look for in our next Executive Director. The assessment was thorough, but not cumbersome."
- James Maynard, 2011 Board Chair, Austin Child Guidance Center
The Greenlights Diagnostic
Our team will work with your board and staff to perform a check-up of 12 key components of your organization to get a clear picture of where your organization is high performing, where it can use attention, and what to prioritize as you move forward. We will help you create a plan to implement new or improved practices that align with your organizational strategy and build on your previous successes.
The 12 key components of your organization that we'll assess:
- Mission and Vision
- Core Programs
- Strategic Planning
- Governance
- Staff and Human Resources
- Clients and Customers
- Fundraising
- Financial Management
- Technology
- Facilities
- Marketing and Messaging
- Strategic Relationships
The Greenlights Diagnostic Process
We incorporate online surveys, one-on-one interviews, and a comprehensive document review to develop a complete picture of your nonprofit. Over the course of six to eight weeks, Greenlights will meet with the people and get to know the policies and practices that define your organization. With an objective, outside perspective, we'll help you see connections, identify cross-cutting issues and learn how your organization stacks up against nonprofit best practices.
Once we have all the data, we not only provide you with a clear picture of how you operate, but provide key recommendations to build the best organization possible.
