ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY ASSESSMENT

We use an organizational mapping tool to guide conversations about strengths and opportunities.

Bringing board and staff together in a reflective, research-based conversation that give you information to strengthen your work.

We guide organizations in a proven capacity assessment tool that builds ownership, engagement and focus:

  • Trained to facilitate the Impact Capacity Assessment Tool (iCAT), Dr. Ross has facilitated over 40 iCAT organizational capacity assessments with nonprofit leaders in Northern California and beyond.

  • Research shows the more that staff and board members understand the details of what is and isn’t work inside your organization, the more you’ll be empowered to do better work.

  • Organizational capacity assessments move reflective conversations from personal to data-driven.

 
 

The Organizational Capacity Assessment Tool includes the following:

  • Facilitated debrief to support staff and board to understand results and figure out what to do next.

  • Online report including scores in the key areas and recommendations for most critical next steps.

  • Kickoff meeting to set up your organization for success.

  • Online board and staff survey focusing on six key areas: leading, learning, overseeing, planning, resource generating and managing.
