You Can't Execute Great Strategy When Your Structure Is Fighting It.
We help justice-committed nonprofits see the invisible misalignment between purpose, strategy, and structure—then fix it so your talented team can bring their full power to your mission.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Strategic plans hit invisible barriers
It's frustrating. Six months in, work stalls in ways you can't quite see. Decisions get stuck. Information doesn't flow where it needs to. Authority sits in places that made sense three years ago but don't match today's work.
The world changes, your approaches don't
Funding landscapes shift. Community needs surge. But adapting your plan means either rebuilding it from scratch or creating chaos. There's got to be a better way.
No real insight into strategic progress
You spend days per month preparing for staff, board, and funder meetings. Everyone's working hard. But when asked "Which of your strategies are having the most impact?" The honest answer is harder to give than it should be.
Decisions happen, but learning doesn't stick
Critical choices live in emails and in people's heads. When staff transition or contexts shift, you're having the same debates all over again. Your organization is churning, not learning.
Your best people are burning out
This one hurts the most. They're incredibly talented, deeply committed, and working harder than ever, but the misalignment between strategy and structure is exhausting them.
Your tools track tasks, not strategies
Your project management tools show 100% task completion. That's great. But you still have questions about strategic progress. The tools can't show if your strategy is actually being activated—because they weren't built to.
The Real Problem May Not Be Your Strategy or Your People
Your purpose may be clear. Your strategy makes sense. Your team is talented. But your organizational structure (how decisions flow, where authority sits, how teams collaborate) wasn't designed to execute your current strategies.
This is an organization design problem. And it’s the most common — yet least addressed — challenge facing justice-committed nonprofits today.
