Strategy Solutions, as trainers, consultants, and peer reviewers for The Standards, assists clients in implementing best practices in nonprofit governance and management. Our goal is to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.
Whether you require assistance on a specific project or need support in developing long-term strategies and overseeing their execution, we enable you to maximize your resources and capabilities.
Services
Unlock the full potential of your business with our consulting services. From business transformation and strategic planning to fundraising, we offer a wide array of services tailored to your company's specific needs. Let us help you achieve your goals.
Strategic & Business Planning
Strategic planning helps an organization define its vision and direction. Our unique approach helps you evaluate past performance, review operations, complete a functional analysis, and compare current operations to trends. We also explore strategic restructuring, integrate culture change, identify investment budgets, and achieve enterprise transformation. Additionally, we engage stakeholders, identify organizational and funding strategies, analyze demand, and facilitate talent management.
Board Governance & Restructuring
When an organization practices good governance with full disclosure, the public will feel that the company can be trusted. Ultimately, this helps the reputation of the organization to grow. For-profits, nonprofit corporations, and boards supported by another organization or entity should all take steps to increase the quality of their governance systems. By doing so, they can improve outcomes. We offer various services to support organizations in achieving this goal, including board retreat facilitation, board and staff training, learning and applying best practices, board effectiveness assessment/restructuring support, and an annual legal and operational "check-up" in collaboration with our attorney partner(s).

Effective and efficient programs that achieve outcomes and impact are the hallmark of successful nonprofits. Strategy Solutions provides consulting, training, and coaching to enhance your capacity to meet your mission. We offer various services, including needs assessment and feasibility analysis, logic model development, outcomes measurement tools and methods, strategies to develop and automate reporting systems, case for support development to attract funding, and program evaluation.

“Strategy Solutions was instrumental in the recent success and growth of the expERIEnce Children’s Museum. Debbie and her team led the museum to create a Community Assessment Survey and to develop the first strategic plan in the museum’s history. We would not be where we are today as an organization without the help of Strategy Solutions!”
