Organizational Transitions

Lost in the trees, and need some perspective?

There are different kinds of transitions going on in non-profit organizations beyond leadership changes. Most leaders understand change management and do it all the time. But when outside or internal factors create bigger shifts for the organization, it is sometimes harder to see the forest for the trees. If your nonprofit is grappling with:

• Restructuring (programs, staff, board)
• Pursuing strategic alliances (from informal collaborations to strategic partnerships to full merger)
• Winding down your organization
• Reconsidering mission altogether 

We Help Manage Change.

Third Sector New England’s Organizational Transitions Practice can help you clearly see the choices in front of you and your nonprofit by assessing and analyzing organizational data.

We can help you scenario plan around various choices. We can then facilitate the organization’s strategic decision-making processes. And we can help you move from decision to action by designing and supporting implementation of next steps. 

• Has the world shifted under your organizational feet, and you’re not sure which direction to take?

• Has a loss in funding brought your non-profit organization to a crossroads regarding whether or not to layoff staff?

• Has your group experienced lots of growth quickly, and staff are having trouble keeping up with the change?

• Have you wondered what a strategic alliance really is, what it accomplishes and how to get there?

• Does your board or funders keep talking merger without full knowledge of the deep spectrum of choices between a strategic alliance and full-out merger?
