ASSESSMENT/ EVALUATION SERVICES
Our SMART (Strategic, Management, Accounting/Finance, Resource, Technical) Capacity diagnostic allows any organization to perform a comprehensive review to identify the right issues that frame the opportunities for improvement. We help define an organization's strategic alternatives and set compelling and achievable goals.
Behind our five business elements, we have identified sixteen interrelated activities that underpin high performance. This diagnostic provides executives and decision makers with a clear view on how to allocate scarce organizational resources to achieve scalable, social impact.
Due to the interconnectedness of these elements, it is critical that each element be reviewed prior to any final recommendations.
STRATEGY/ CAPACITY BUILDING SERVICES
Does your strategy and capabilities guide how you allocate resources? Can every employee articulate your strategy, and do they have what they need to execute it? If your organization is falling short of its full potential, Impact Intersection can guide you on a stakeholder engagement effort to change the strategic, operational, and financial trajectory of your organization and produce game-changing results.
The reality is that a solid foundation for scalable impact must be in place before expansion begins. Before moving forward, we will help you assess your overall readiness to determine what type of strategy to pursue.
Our scalability lifecycle maturity profiles recognize the factors that drive change and anticipate the challenges to be addressed to progress to the next stage.

OUR APPROACH
Utilizing a no-nonsense, focused framework, we work in partnership with our clients to assess the gaps and identify the opportunities that drive their organizational performance. The framework consists of repeatable processes including data gathering, internal interviews and working sessions with key stakeholders to facilitate alignment and buy-into the final recommendations:
Surveys: Robust surveys assess how the organization performs on each of the organizational outcomes and underlying disciplines.
Management interviews: Thorough management interviews provide context to the strengths and barriers underpinning performance and help an organization prioritize and focus on the essential few outcomes and underlying disciplines required to improve performance.
Workshops: Tailored workshops bring multiple stakeholders together to jointly develop focused action plans.
Our experts partner with the executives, managers, and if necessary, board members to tailor and customize our range of systemic solutions to help our clients close the gaps on the most essential organizational outcomes to improve their performance.
