By combining years of professional management, nonprofit board, and administrative experiences with my 25 years of teaching organizational capacity building to college undergraduate and graduate students, I understand the challenges critical to nonprofit leaders. In these classes (Performance Management, Leadership & Strategy, Budgeting, Legal Issues, and Event Planning), I developed their problem-solving skills through applied learning projects. Through this authentic learning environment, students began to understand the complexity of real-world problem-solving, and I can do the same for you.
Regardless of size, experience, or industry, successful nonprofits build a culture of innovative and responsive strategic planning. They can adapt quickly to maximize scarce resources innovatively and sustainably to meet their clients’ needs.
Even for veteran leaders, strategic planning can be daunting. The constantly shifting economic environment creates new and unexpected challenges. To thrive, a successful leader needs to be innovative and adaptive.
Crisis can also come from within. Your organization may have recently experienced leadership, staff, or board turnover that has resulted in new expectations. More agencies are competing for scarce resources today, and funding sources may have dried up. Regardless of the crisis or challenge, I can support your strategic planning accordingly to improve your sustainability.
Some solutions may involve a relatively minor review of current practices to identify efficiencies or programming updates to meet new requirements or expectations.
However, nonprofits in crisis mode will need new practices, income sources, programs, and trained people for the major operational shifts necessary to confront these crises.
I will problem-solve with you to make strategic planning less daunting and more responsive to your unique challenges.
Major or minor, complex or straightforward, I will work with you to reinvigorate your organization’s culture for responsive and sustainable capacity building.

Strategic planning requires a comprehensive and empowered process integrating everyone’s input and commitment. During the planning process, organizations must identify goals, priorities, and values and then allocate their precious resources to meet objectives.
Grounded in nonprofit strategy best practices, organizational capacity building focuses on the strategic process to manage resources, meet your mission and overcome organizational challenges. For effective strategic capacity building, leaders must address four crucial elements:
- Human Resources Capacity
- Financial Resources Capacity
- Partnership Resources Capacity
- Infrastructure Resources Capacity
Human Resource Capacity (HRC)
The people are critical, including leadership, staff, volunteers, and the board. I examine the role clarity, skills and capabilities, and development and management practices necessary to maximize everyone's potential. By understanding the people who execute your mission, we can develop solutions to enhance productivity: better people, better programs, and better impact.
Financial Resources Capacity (FRC)
Nonprofits need income to sustain their programs. By understanding the financial picture, organizations can strategically allocate resources more effectively, mainly since many programs and support activities do not generate income like for-profit businesses.
Additionally, nonprofits sometimes become dependent on a primary form of funding. Yet most experts will argue that it is more sustainable to increase funding diversification, especially with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Organizations start cutting costs in tough times, which should only happen in extreme situations. Together, we can find ways to improve your financial health and sustainability without taking drastic measures.
Partnership Resources Capacity (PRC)
Nonprofits that leverage their partners appropriately enhance their strategic capabilities tremendously. Partners can increase income (sponsors, funding agencies), increase volunteer numbers (corporate partners), strengthen relationships with clients (shared spaces), and increase marketing (media).
Great partners increase your sustainability exponentially when you partner for win-wins.
Infrastructure Resource Capacity (IRC)
Strengthening this complex resource capacity will enhance your strategic planning and is at the core of building culture. To enhance your infrastructure resources, we need to examine your:
- Physical resource capacity and the physical assets like buildings, technology, and field spaces to enhance the member/client experience
- Planning resource capacity is determined by a systematic, agile, and ongoing process and developed with appropriate evaluation. Essentially, all planning decisions should reflect a shared mission, vision, and values throughout the organization.
- Policy, process, or systems capacity is determined by the internal processes and systems to enhance culture through
- Recruiting leadership, staff, volunteers, and board members
- Empowering and developing the leadership, staff, and board
- Effective board bylaws and guides
- Planning, budgeting, programming, decision-making processes
Successful organizations create a culture of responsive planning, decision-making, and empowerment—a culture of capacity building—to fully leverage their resources. When every decision, action, or goal is based on this culture, you have developed your OCBC.
