Strategic Planning
A sound strategic plan is critical to a positive outcome for your organization. By focusing on long and short-term objectives, strategies and actions, we help organizations determine their core mission and values, identify common goals and competencies, and adjust their direction to realize results today.
Business Planning
Cutting existing programs or offering new services may be required to meet the changing needs of your customers, but you still need to balance the budget. CNE's business planning process fosters innovative thinking and offers new business insights. We ask the tough questions needed to assess current operations and generate positive new ideas.
Executive Leadership Coaching
When you need answers and guidance, one-on-one coaching services can enhance your ability to fulfill your executive leadership responsibilities. CNE coaches apply their experience and knowledge to help our clients develop and improve more quickly than through conventional self-help methods.
Financial Infrastructure and Capacity-Building
Understanding financial tools and reports is essential. CNE evaluates the current internal financial systems and assists with improvements. We help nonprofits build capacity through focused training for the board and staff.
Fundraising Planning
Raising money is more difficult than ever; doing so without a plan is risky business. CNE helps you develop strategies to generate income for the future. An assets inventory, fundraising calendar, case statement, and realistic goals all set the framework for the development of a diversified donor base.
Board Leadership Development
To govern effectively, a Board must understand its role. CNE utilizes board and organizational assessments, reviews committee structure, and identifies the planning responsibilities and financial oversight requirements needed to strengthen the board's capacity to lead.
Succession Planning
A current succession plan is critical to maintaining a stable organization when changes occur. CNE works with the board and staff to develop a vision of the professional leadership team needed to govern the organization in the future.
Sustainability and Collaboration Planning
To stay viable, nonprofits must evaluate and decide if they need to maintain, expand or close existing programs, or consider strategic partnerships at a program or organizational level. CNE helps nonprofits identify the best solutions to fulfill its mission.
Executive Transition Management & Interim Executive Directors
When a leadership change occurs, it is an opportunity for the organization to assess its needs for the future. To ensure the next leader is the best fit, our process includes preparing for the transition, identifying and/or locating an Interim Director, and conducting the executive search.
