How we can help

You can be on the front foot in demonstrating your social impact, through help to:

• build your organisational understanding of social outcomes measurement
• co-design fit-for-purpose outcomes or impact frameworks, robust Theories of Change and program logics, and strategies for ensuring your work advances mission
• explore efficient data collection and reporting options that keep your frontline teams doing what they do best – working with people, not paperwork!

Through our working model, quilibri will strengthen your organisation to:

• assess its capacity and needs for outcomes measurement
• build understanding of outcomes and impact measurement that works for your nonprofit and build buy-in across program teams
• lead with an alignment of purpose, strategy and service delivery
• embed a culture of learning and continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making by ‘managing to impact’.

Research

Research can help support nonprofits advocate for change, inform policy development, keep your organisational brand alive and your practice framework up-to-date. But the reality is that community sector organisations are often cash-strapped. Nonprofit research needs to support organisational strategy and advance your mission achievement. With a focus on research-to-practice and extensive experience in knowledge translation and accessible writing, Karen can help to design and deliver research that meets your unique needs. Using qualitative, quantitative and human-centred design methods, lived experience voices can take a central place in your organisation’s research.

Research can include:

• evidence reviews to support Theory of Change or services and legal/regulatory framework reviews that are accessible and actionable
• research planning, design and advisory support, including ethics
• support to get your data and and unique practice insights into the public arena
• research-to-policy or research-to-practice plans and reports.

Strategy

Developing organisational strategy requires creativity and innovation grounded by a realistic approach to what is achievable and aligned to mission achievement.

Strategy development starts with:

• co-constructed retrospectives of what you’ve achieved, and
• bold co-design of what’s possible,
• interwoven with genuine commitment to what will work and what will be cost-effective to support the individuals, families or communities you work with.

Karen can support your Board or leadership team(s) to develop your next strategic plan and to determine KPIs that will ensure you can keep track of how it is operationalised.

As an experienced nonprofit executive and facilitator of strategic planning, Karen can offer support from developing a project plan and implementation framework, to working with key stakeholders to guide a new Strategic Plan.
