WHAT WE DO
Building Bench Strength for Today and Tomorrow
Developing the team you already have for optimum mission delivery is one of the best investments your nonprofit can make.
Clarity helps your team identify career pathways specific to your organization with the core competencies each position needs and the development options your people can pursue to attain those competencies. Equitable opportunity is the foundation of successful retention and succession.
Assessing and Moving Toward Diversity and Belonging
An equitable and diverse organizational culture is critical for staff sustainability and for mission delivery.
To foster more racially equitable workplaces, organizations must be equipped with the insights they need to understand their culture and build more aligned teams. Certified in the Building Blocks for Change assessment, Clarity’s team is ideally situated to support your organization in infusing diversity, equity, and inclusion across your organizational culture and create realistic and meaningful steps for implementing the changes you need for impact and accountability.
Building Board Engagement and Support
The members of your board of directors are critical community ambassadors and liaisons. At Clarity, we create exciting and engaging Board frameworks that link your governance team directly to the needs of your organization. This supports productive engagement, accountability, and results throughout the year and year-over-year.
Clarity’s team can facilitate high-yield Board retreats and training, strengthening board members as individuals and as team members. We can also provide ongoing support to drive board productivity and results, helping with everything from board communications to recruitment and succession to training and onboarding. This “concierge-style” service can ease the day-to-day obligations for the CEO and the Board Chair while leveraging and maximizing overall mission-driving impact.
Planning for and Supporting Leadership Transition
Whether you have a long time CEO or a brand-new leader, ongoing policies and procedures guide well-built and well-run organizations through planned or unplanned transitions. Before a transition occurs, Clarity can guide your team through the development of emergency succession plans and succession policies to bolster a successful executive transition. When that executive transition is imminent, Clarity also supports the Board planning, search, hiring, and onboarding processes to keep you laser-focused on your mission, your team, and creating results.
Strategic Planning
The best strategic plan is the one that you use. Great plans provide a clear path to the future as your internal and external worlds evolve. Processes can be as simple as agreeing upon purpose and priorities or can include a deep dive into stakeholder perceptions, Board visioning retreats, and highly engaged work groups. At Clarity, we customize your experience to align perfectly with your organization’s needs and your resources.
