JustOrg Design is a comprehensive system—a structured process supported by purpose-built software—created specifically for justice-committed nonprofits.
For decades, nonprofits have struggled with how to align strategy, structure, and decision-making across their complex, interdisciplinary work. Not project management. Not task tracking. Alignment.
JOD was purpose-built to solve this problem. Everything in our system exists to serve one purpose: helping you see where strategy, structure, and decisions align (or don't)—then giving you the tools to address it.

Map your purpose, strategy, structure, and decisions in one living system. See exactly where your structure isn't supporting your strategy—what was invisible becomes clear.
Build Teams and Tables around how interdisciplinary work actually happens—not siloed departments. Create structure that matches your strategy instead of fighting it.
Run effective meetings where decisions are captured with full context. Track strategic work in real-time as teams collaborate. No extra data entry—the work flows to reporting automatically.
Update decisions as new information emerges. Adjust structures as strategies evolve. No chaos, no starting over—just intelligent adaptation enabled by the platform.
Reports show strategy activation by group and across the organization. See where momentum is building and where you need to course-correct. Know you're making real progress.
We teach you the alignment process. Once your team understands how to maintain alignment, that knowledge is yours forever. We're here to support you, not create dependency.
JOD includes a robust Learning Center designed specifically to help you develop your team. This isn't generic management training—it's targeted resources that help your staff understand strategy, lead cross-functional collaboration, and navigate the complexity of nonprofit work.
What we've seen is that as organizations get stronger structurally, their people grow in their capacity to lead. We believe this is how you build sustainable leadership depth instead of burning out talented staff.
We teach the process while you're using the platform
You learn by doing with our guidance
The knowledge is yours forever
Strategic Alignment Foundations: Help your team understand why structure-strategy alignment matters and how to recognize misalignment before it becomes a crisis.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Practical guidance on leading work that doesn't fit neatly in traditional departments—the reality of nonprofit work.
Adaptive Planning: How to adjust strategy and structure based on what you're learning without creating chaos.
Decision Evolution: Understanding that decisions are living agreements, and how to manage them as they evolve.
We're continually refining our Learning Center as we learn more about what is working for our nonprofit partners.
Tools like Asana, ClickUp, and other leading EOS products track tasks brilliantly. But their core purpose is not strategic alignment.
Purpose-built to solve the alignment problem and show strategy activation in real-time.

Together, we map your purpose and strategies. Then we build intentional structures—Teams and Tables aligned to how your strategic work actually happens, not how an org chart says it should.
Your teams meet, make decisions, and capture commitments. Everything flows into the system automatically—no extra data entry, no duplicated work. Just real collaboration captured as it happens.
Reports show where strategy is being activated and where it's stalling. Decisions evolve as you learn. Structure adapts without chaos. Your organization gets smarter over time, not just busier.
Map organizational strategies and priorities. Connect critical actions to strategic intent so everyone sees how their work advances the mission.
Organize people around how work actually happens. Design your functional and cross-functional groups with intention.
Real-time collaboration with decision capture, structured group voting, commitment tracking, and capture boards for ideation. Design and host meetings that generate strategic action.
Each team and table has a dedicated environment for planning and managing its work: strategic actions, meetings, commitments, and decisions.
Decisions evolve as you implement and gain more insight--your ability to capture this change is built into the system. Complete change history preserved.
See real-time progress by group and by strategy. Data captured automatically from actual work.
The transformation from structural confusion to strategic clarity doesn't happen overnight. And you shouldn't have to figure it out alone. We solve the alignment problem together. Through our "I Do, We Do, You Do" approach, you learn the organizational design process while using the platform.
