Organizational Strategy

In order to take your organization to the next level, prepare for uncertainties in funding or create a pathway to grow the organization to its full potential, a well articulated Strategic Plan is an invaluable tool. Getting stakeholders engaged, having everyone “on the same page” and being able to communicate effectively about where you are going are some of the important outcomes from investing in development of a Strategic Plan. Your CapacityBuild consultant understands the process and potential challenges in working towards a cohesive and clear strategic plan. We are there to make your investment of time and energy as efficient and effective as possible.

Business Planning

The rigors of the marketplace and the accountability frameworks of funders are increasingly demanding that mission based organizations run their operations in a way that reflects strong management, forward planning and creative approaches to funding and revenue generation. Bringing a depth of experience in business plan review and analysis, CapacityBuild will guide your organization through a comprehensive process to articulate and fill in any gaps in a rigorous business planning exercise. Linking operations to strategic mission and vision elements and overlaying a long term financial framework provide for a well thought out and carefully aligned business plan tool.

Deploying unique skill sets within your organization to run a business which feeds your mission work is called Social Enterprise and we’re here to assist you. Whether working through a feasibility study to test ideas, doing the business planning work to map out setting up and launching your enterprise or guiding strategic planning to ensure you are maximizing the effectiveness of your enterprise, CapacityBuild is uniquely qualified to demystify the process.
