How Can Jani Help?
There are many reasons why organizations stall or fail altogether. Typically, these fall into the following challenges: Business and Strategic Planning, Process and Systems Development, People and Culture, Innovation and Technology, and Internal and External Communication. At the root of all of these is losing focus on the business aspects of the organization--ultimately at the expense of the mission.
Jani Consulting Services brings over 25 years' executive experience in healthcare, mental health, and disability related nonprofit human service businesses with expertise in strategy development, operational efficiency, and financial results.
Business & Strategic Planning
"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."--John F. Kennedy
Well thought plans allow businesses, including nonprofit businesses to thrive. The most successful organizations build alignment among several core aspects: their vision, values, mission, strategy, organizational structure, and resource allocation.
Without this foundation, organizations are challenged with mission creep, lack of focus and frequent changes in direction, and rudderless leadership.
Jani Consulting Services can help your organization from startup, through initial growth phases, and well
into larger scale growth with business and strategic planning services including:
-
Comprehensive business assessment, recommendations, and implementation planning
-
Define, refine, and align organizational mission, vision, and core values
-
Organizational competency identification
-
Market analysis and environmental scan
-
Budget development
-
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) identification and monitoring
-
Board development and best practices
-
Fractional or temporary support for operations, finance, and strategy roles
Process & Systems Development
"Systems and processes are essential to keep the crusade going, but they should not
replace the crusade."--Simon Sinek
Small organizations tend toward relationship-based management where people rely heavily on discussion and verbal direction from tenured staff relying on their previous experience to manage their work. As an organization grows in headcount, locations, service lines, or departments, structures change making relationship-based management less feasible.
The result is funders and customers saying, "you're not the same organization you used to be," overwhelmed leaders too busy managing day-to-day to ever "get ahead," staff reporting
burnout and frustration, and inconsistency in quality of services.
Jani Consulting Services can help your organization supplement relationship-based management practices with systems-based management that allows optimal efficiency, multiple people to carry out organizational objectives with the same high level of quality and consistency as predecessors or other locations and departments with services such as:
-
Quality Assurance process development
-
Data analyses
-
Role, responsibility, & process mapping and optimization for efficiency and effectiveness
-
Fractional or temporary support for operations, project management, and quality assurance roles
People & Culture
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."--Peter Drucker
The most successful organizations are full of talented people committed to the same service or product ideals and connected through an organizational culture aligned with those service or product ideals.
Without this, organizations experience increased employee disengagement and turnover, unclear performance expectations, and stalled projects or initiatives.
Understanding there is no singular ideal culture or employee, Jani Consulting Services tailors
people and culture solutions to your organization's unique needs throughout the employee life cycle with services such as:
-
Performance management system development, including identifying critical competencies for various roles and aligning job descriptions, screening, training, evaluation, and incentive methods.
-
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives and trainings
-
Recruitment process development
-
Training curriculum development
-
Executive and leadership coaching
-
Mentorship, sponsorship, and employee resource group development
-
Fractional or temporary support for human resources business partner, talent development & training, and DEI roles
Innovation & Technology
"Innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world."--Bill Gates
Whatever change your nonprofit endeavors to produce in the world will require new ways of thinking and doing. The most successful organizations bring innovation to the marketplace and adopt innovative tools and technologies to build efficient processes that save time and money.
Without a commitment to innovation and technology, organizations are stuck in cycles of doing the same thing and expecting different results while relying on slow outdated paper or email based processes.
Jani Consulting Services supports your organization to innovate in services and products and leverage the power of technology with services such as:
-
Change Management Plan development
-
Service and business innovation planning
-
Grant research and writing
-
Business analysis
-
Remote and mobile workforce initiatives
-
Technology adoption initiatives
-
Information Technology governance and operational integration
-
Fractional or temporary support for project management, business analysis, and grant writing roles
Internal & External Communication
“The single biggest problem in communication is
the illusion that it has taken place."--George Bernard Shaw
The most successful organizations recognize the need for transparency in communications as well as alignment between communication with employees and with the communities in which you work.
Communication challenges often reveal themselves in unmet expectations, high-stress and urgency environments, unhappy customers, and low morale.
Jani Consulting Services helps organizations develop and
deliver effective and mission reflective messaging internally to their employees and externally to community stakeholders with services such as:
-
Internal communication and knowledge base standards
-
Fractional or temporary support for marketing, communications, and business development roles
