We kick off the project by further defining project requirements, defining the stakeholders and preparing a project work plan with dates, actions and outcomes.

We perform a comprehensive review of data related to the project work. During this step, JOC will conduct desktop analyses of relevant data and conduct interviews with identified stakeholders. We may also facilitate electronic surveys to garner additional data elements. Thereafter, we will synthesize the data and provide a baseline analysis of findings.

Depending on the project, outcomes for this step include recommendations of strategies and approaches the client should consider. These recommendations are often tied to strategic objectives of the project and provide a clear direction as to next steps.

During this phase, we develop and formalize recommendations approved by the client. The materials developed could include designed curriculum, an operations plan, marketing materials and retreat documents.

At this phase, we could facilitate board or staff retreats, deliver training, implement part or parts of an operations plan or provide interim management.

Throughout the project, we communicate with our clients at each phase. Prior to finalizing recommendations and after we facilitate group discussions, we garner additional input from key stakeholders to ensure all parties’ viewpoints are considered.

At the conclusion of the project engagement, we provide a final project review, and a final comprehensive strategic plan with objective outcomes.

During this step we make sure your solutions stick.  Why? Because we are committed to your success!
