What once required brick-and-mortar locations with local managers may be accomplished at distance. New technologies and organizational systems can bring tremendous value or be a disaster. QoLA helps organizations focus more attention and resources on business process management. Change isn’t just inevitable, it’s necessary. Prescient adaptation to the evolving world around us can be a strength and point of differentiation. Despite it’s necessity, change can be forced upon organizations by circumstances or managed based upon thoughtful analysis, insightful planning and strategic communication. QoLA helps organizations manage change through data collection and analysis, predictive insights and thoughtful communication strategies. It’s hard to get funding if an organization isn’t prepared to be innovative about the programs and services that they offer. Any organization can trundle along doing the same things tomorrow that they did yesterday. But, who’s going to fund it? Nonprofit board and managers must innovate or perish. QoLA helps organizations analyze the needs of their constituents and design innovative programs and services that provide value. The nonprofit sector is often replete with organizations that provide overlapping programs and services and that are interacting with the same donors and sponsors. Through thoughtful strategic alliances, nonprofit organizations can demonstrate greater value, eliminate wasteful overhead and entice new supporters. QoLA helps evaluate potential partners with whom an alliance, merger or acquisition makes strong business sense.

Every dollar spent on operations must be leveraged to maximize its impact. QoLA helps analyze and streamline business operations. Nonprofit organizations are generally in business to do good for their members, clients and/or publics. Let’s face it though, nonprofits take on immense challenges that can at times feel insurmountable. A long-term vision of what your organization wishes to accomplish along with a realistic action-plan, timelines and constraints is essential. QoLA helps develop a strategic roadmap that gets an organization where it’s leadership and donors expects it to go. Nonprofit managers will often state that their personnel are the most important asset they have to accomplish their mission. Tremendous resources are expended on recruiting, training, cultivating and retaining personnel. Oftentimes however, limited opportunities for professional growth may stifle an employee’s enthusiasm for the organization and mission. QoLA helps design opportunities for employees’ personal growth while complementing their organization’s mission and strategic vision.
