We believe that, just as people are the heart of your organisation, sound management and good strategy are the backbone upon which depend every other activity, from fundraising to service delivery. If you find your operations struggling, it may be that the underlying strategy needs examination.

If you are losing too many staff, the management structure may merit adjustment. If your board is enthusiastic but unfocused, some external facilitation could unite them around your goals and objectives. Whether you are a large organisation adjusting to a changing environment or a smaller organisation planning to grow, Action Planning’s Management Consultancy Team can help.

we have the people
Our team of consultants all have extensive senior experience in the not-for-profit sector as managers and trustees. We know the sector and can draw on our experience to help you find practical solutions.

we have the helicopter view
We can ask tough questions and facilitate reflection among your staff and board, propose new ideas or champion yours. Our consultants work collaboratively, getting to know you, your organisation and the context in which you work, and then forging long-term solutions that are right for you.

we have the skills
Our team can review your current plans and operations, walk you through a strategic planning process, help you develop the trustees you need, facilitate a merger, manage a change process, or mentor your new chief executive. We can also clarify your brand and positioning, create a marketing strategy, and streamline your HR management.

we can facilitate implementation
We believe that strategy and management structures are alive and fluid. They need to be woven into your daily operations and embedded in how you do business. Too often, plans are left to gather dust. We can help move you from dynamic strategy to practical implementation.
