As chair of ASAE’s Measures of Success project, I have gained critical insight into what makes organization’s remarkable. Successful organizations have clearly stated, measurable objectives. Moreover, they have spelled out what staff and volunteers need to do to accomplish those objectives. And, they have removed policies and practices that block success. Finally, they have implemented an ongoing evaluation plan to improve performance during the year and evaluate success at the end of the year.
OPIS believes in implementing a systematic, data-driven process. Therefore, we are not a hit-and-run firm. Rather, we work with clients to develop a system to meet clients' needs and we share in their accountability for success. We work with organizations in:
• Strategic planning
• Assessment of organizational performance against 7 Measures of Success
• Organizational and governance evaluation
• Staff and volunteer performance assessment
• Staff and volunteer training
• Leadership training
