Organizational Assessments and Capacity Enhancement Planning

Bring your non-profit’s performance to the next level!

Our Organizational Assessment and Capacity Improvement Planning will determine key areas and activities that offer your team the greatest impact.

Discover Your Organization’s Current State

Vantage Point will conduct a detailed assessment of your organization across the following five capacity areas:

• Programs
• Leadership and Management
• Governance
• Systems
• Financial Resources

This assessment will reveal the current state of your organization across these five dimensions, and from that, offer insight into:

• Current challenges and opportunities for the organization.
• Transition stages that may be causing additional pressure, and how to move through them.

*This approach is based on a model developed over 30 years of experience and research by Susan Kenny Stevens and the NonProfit Lifecycles Institute.  

All of Vantage Point’s consulting team are certified NonProfit Lifecycles Consultants equipped to successfully lead this assessment with your organization. 

Create a holistic Capacity Enhancement Plan

Based on the assessment findings, we will lead your team (board and staff) in a review of performance outcomes appropriate for your stage of organizational development.

Together, we will create an action plan of immediate steps to improve your organization’s effectiveness in governance, management, financial resources, and systems, over a set time frame.

Strengthen Organizational Governance

Focus on specifically strengthening your organization’s governance, as a part of an overall Capacity Enhancement Planning process or a distinct governance review or board self-assessment process.

Our governance review and/or board self-assessment services help evaluate your board’s effectiveness in such areas as roles, responsibilities, policies, and decision-making.

The insights you gain will pave the way for improvements in governance and strategic planning.
