With their focus on creating a better world, teams can lose sight of their internal grantmaking processes and how their grantmaking decisions connect to their overarching strategy. We can partner with you to design a thriving organization from the inside out.
Organizational Design & Culture
Learning and strategy done right always results in changes in organizational design and culture. Because if you are truly reflecting deeply on your work, you are also looking inward at your own operations and culture. Adapting outwardly on technical challenges is always accompanied by adapting internally.
When teams are healthy and the entire organization is functioning properly, all other areas of their work are illuminated and amplified. When individuals, teams, and organizations have a positive, safe, and transparent culture, they are significantly more influential and impactful.
While many philanthropies reflect on their organizational culture and health every few years, we work with you to create built-in processes for ongoing reflection so as your culture is evolving (which is an ongoing organic process), you have the right tools and platforms at your disposal to see it clearly and mold it together to achieve your collective goals. This is what it means to be a true learning organization.
