The field of management has generated many methodologies for designing and writing high-level documents such as business plans, strategic plans, vision statements, operating plans and the like.
The best-laid plans are only intentions until they are given life in specific actions. Progressing from a high-level plan to implementation depends on breaking down general goals into precisely defined tasks, and the discipline to sustain them in the long-term. Techniques such as these, can translate intent into reality:
- Organizational charts, which include volunteers
- Job descriptions, for volunteers as well as paid staff
- Operations manuals
- Knowledge management strategies
- Training programs produced internally
- Constituency analysis, assuring all 'clients' of a department/group are addressed
- Constant review and feedback in light of goals
Allegro Organizational Solutions was created out of the non-profit management experience of its founders since 1990, and continues to be broadened by the day-to-day operational challenges of operating field offices in some of the most hostile environments around the globe. Allegro is an outgrowth of that experience applied to other interested charitable clients.
Allegro’s consulting capacity concentrates on specifics of implementation. Allegro will walk with clients to closure: staff and volunteers building and maintaining an organizational system of processes, documented down to specific actions and desired outputs. The focus is primarily on many small things on which big visions are constructed.
Allegro can assist a client in creating high-level plans, but the most valuable aspect of our consulting services are helping a client implement them at the bedrock level of staff departments and working groups of volunteers. |
