KM Consulting

KM Consulting helps nonprofits and foundations scale, design portfolios, and enhance their impact.

Typical services:
– Adaptive strategic planning or reset: Analysis, facilitation, and support to develop realistic and useful strategies. This is often helpful for organizations at key inflection points—like changing operating contexts, organizational transitions, or after receiving new funding—to clarify priorities, sharpen program strategies, and align stakeholders. Strategy should be adaptive and useful–not just a nice signal or package.

– Operating model improvement: Improvement or full redesign to ensure strategy leads to impact. Plans are a start, but collaboration, alignment, and decision-making often stand in the way. This work often entails examining and redesigning structures, clarifying decision rights and roles, and re-designing management team forums or processes.

– Executive team effectiveness: Helping leadership teams clarify focus, step into the right roles, and make decisions that stick. This can include agenda or meeting redesign, role realignment, and coaching to focus the team on high-leverage, strategic work.
Targeted problem-solving: Embedded or ongoing support to brainstorm challenges, fix urgent issues, or build critical momentum. This could entail market research, workshop facilitation, or bespoke analysis and project management.
