Process improvement involves a review and analyzation of your organization's systems to identify core operational issues in effort to establish more effective systems and practices. The evaluation and improvement process is meant to identify roadblocks and help identify proven solutions.

Program Evaluation & Development

The purpose of program evaluation is to first clarify assumptions through specific evaluation procedures, identify specific issues, and identify and implement proven and innovative solutions. The outcome is the enhancement of current processes to produce more effective results.

Data Collection & Software Implementation

The Data Collection & Software Implementation starts with an assessment of your organization’s data processes: data collection, client onboarding, data entry, and data management, including CRM and program administration databases. Upon identifying specific issues and solutions, recommendations are provided to improve the current systems and strategies and to develop a more efficient process. This process prepares the organization for successful program reporting, to better analyze outcomes, guide strategy sessions, and generate funding support.

Volunteer Management & Engagement Planning

Reviewing your current volunteer program plan, methods, and strategy means also reviewing your organization's technology systems and methods of continual improvement. This includes marketing, onboarding, staff and volunteer training on volunteer program systems, and volunteer retention.
