Change management refers to the process of planning, implementing, and managing organizational change. Change management professionals help organizations effectively transition from one state to another by analyzing the impact of change, communicating the changes to stakeholders, and providing support to employees during the transition.

Change management teams, like us, are focused on the process of change while providing direction to organizational leadership.

We’ll discuss a custom plan with you, but generally we follow:

1. Assessment
2. Blueprint
3. Implementation

During Assessment, we like to talk with staff, board members, and key stakeholders as well as take a look at your organizational systems, processes, and documentation. 

During Blueprint, we’ll draft a plan for where we notice your bottlenecks and painpoints to be and how to address them. We engage in an iterative review and comment process that involves various team members to ensure applicability, achievability, and general buy-in.

Finally with implementation, we can either be your accountability partner during this phase or be right in the trenches with you making change happen efficiently and as smooth as possible.

Improving the workflow of a non-profit organization can help to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall effectiveness of the organization. Here are some steps we take to get started:

1. Assess your current workflow: Start by understanding how tasks are currently being performed in your organization. This will give you a baseline to work from and help you identify areas that need improvement.
2. Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies: Look for areas where tasks are taking too long or resources are being wasted. These are the areas you’ll want to focus on first when improving your workflow.
3. Involve your team: Your team members will have valuable insights into the challenges they face in their daily work. Involve them in the process of improving your workflow by asking for their suggestions and feedback.
4. Streamline processes: Consider ways to streamline processes to reduce redundancies, eliminate unnecessary steps, and increase efficiency. Automating certain tasks can also help to speed up processes and reduce the potential for errors.
5. Implement new technologies: Investing in technology can help to improve your workflow. For example, using project management software can help to track tasks and deadlines, while using collaboration tools can help to improve communication and teamwork.  (WE LOVE CLICKUP)
6. Continuously monitor and evaluate: Once you have implemented changes, it’s important to continuously monitor and evaluate your workflow to see what’s working and what’s not. This will help you make further improvements and ensure that your processes remain efficient over time.

5. Code of Conduct Policy: This policy outlines the standards of behavior expected of all employees, volunteers, and board members, and provides guidance on how to address violations of the code.
6. Whistleblower Policy: This policy provides a mechanism for employees and volunteers to report unethical or illegal behavior, and protects them from retaliation.
