Strategic Services
To optimize the capacity of service providers and systems, we facilitate new strategic alliances and strengthen existing alliances which can allow multiple entities to better serve their clients and achieve their mission through leveraging the respective talents and resources of each organization.
Collaboration Development
Many words are used to describe cooperative relationships between different organizations – alliance, coalition, consortium, federation, network, partnership, and cooperative, to name a few. A true “collaboration” is more than a periodic working relationship between agencies; it is a durable and pervasive relationship where separate organizations are brought together into a new structure with full commitment to a common mission. There are many benefits to collaboration: better client outcomes, improved efficiency, better success with fund raising and a stronger voice for advocacy, to name a few. However, collaboration can be counter-productive if not done the right way between the right organizations. Our collaboration development services build lasting collaborative relationships that produce real value for the involved organizations and their clients.
Merger Support
When two organizations are considering a full merger to combine into one organization, we can facilitate all aspects of the merger process including financial and operational due diligence, design of the organization structure for the combined entity, business (non-legal) elements of merger agreements, transition planning, and integration of organizational functions.
