EMERGE

From Emergency to Emerging Strategy

Nonprofit and faith-based organizations have been challenged to find new ways to fulfill their missions with fewer funds and fewer staff. The strategies that worked in the past have to be recast for the future.

DBD Group can help.

Since 2008, DBD has been helping nonprofits with fund development, strategy and planning, partnerships, financial management and more. We’ve retooled several of our most popular products to help our clients meet today’s needs and create plans that can flex to meet an uncertain future.

Executive Staffing Solutions

Between layoffs and furloughs, as well as natural staff turnover, your organization may find itself with a short or long-term gap in staffing. DBD Group can provide staffing solutions in resource development, financial management or executive management.  

Collaborations and Partnerships

As a result of the changing needs of your organization or those you serve, you may be considering a partnership or collaboration. DBD Group can take you through a multi-discipline evaluation process to ensure that you and your potential partner are asking the right questions and making wise decisions.

Strategy and Planning

When you need to make an important decision in a short amount of time, DBD’s Strategy Sprint engages your key leaders in a decision-making process reflective of your mission and/or strategic plan.

In times of rapid change, you may need to adjust your strategic plan to align with new contexts, changing needs or resource, or new priorities. A Strategic Plan Reboot is a practical, efficient approach to revisit a recent or current plan.
