Executive Alignment for Growth & Efficiency
(Non-Profit)
THE CHALLENGE
A rapidly growing non-profit, still in its early stages, faced significant hurdles as it struggled to keep pace with its own expansion. The organization’s processes, structures, and technology were proving inadequate for the increasing demands. This led to confusion, inefficiencies, and stagnating performance.
HR was under immense pressure to hire talent quickly enough to support this growth, putting critical projects and overall performance at risk.
A recent culture survey revealed mounting tensions and doubts from the COO and CEO about HR’s ability to manage talent acquisition effectively. With high stakes and low morale, immediate action was necessary.
THE SOLUTION
To tackle these challenges, we began by working closely with the HR team to gain a deep understanding of their struggles. We then organized an executive briefing session to address concerns and present a clear action plan. Our strategy focused on both immediate and long-term solutions:
Quick Wins: We identified actionable steps to achieve quick results within the next 30 days.
Short-Term Solutions: We developed strategies to resolve pressing issues over the next 90 days.
Long-Term Goals: We crafted a comprehensive plan to address future needs and enhance overall performance.
We facilitated a thorough discussion with the executive team to ensure our plan aligned with the CEO’s and COO’s priorities. This collaborative approach aimed to resolve hiring delays and improve performance.
THE RESULTS
The turnaround was remarkable. The executive team quickly recognized improvements in HR’s approach, which led to faster hiring and better alignment with organizational goals.
The renewed collaboration repaired relationships between HR and the executive team, resulting in increased efficiency and a notable boost in employee satisfaction.
