At the Institute for Civic Leadership, we recognize that every organization faces a wide array of leadership challenges. Our services are designed to help provide solutions to the concerns facing organizations and collaborations in the private, nonprofit, or public sectors. The Institute's skilled consultant group will help you ask the right questions and identify collaborative solutions to organizational development challenges.
Embedded in all collaborative processes is an aspect of conflict. It is inevitable and provides a unique opportunity that is not always appreciated in the moment. Our programs are designed to bring together varying opinions, personality styles and cultural diversity in a purposeful process toward achieving your goals.
Here are some areas of our expertise:
Convening: Entrenched problems need new approaches. ICL can help you and your organization convene stakeholders to identify and execute sustainable solutions.
Collaborative Process Design and Facilitation: Clarity on joint work and decision-making processes is fundamental to an effective collaboration. We will work with you to identify stakeholders to a current challenge, and then design and facilitate the convening or intervention process needed to achieve successful results.
Nonprofit Mergers: Achieve greater mission impact by pursuing mergers that offer compelling scale and opportunity. ICL learned first-hand by means of its own merger with The Board Network, and has experts to lead you and your organization through a successful process.
Leadership Development: Tap into our expertise on leadership development, effective group process and team skills to design a training (or series of trainings) specifically tailored to meet your organization's needs.
Nonprofit Board Consultation: Strong, engaged boards are critical to the success of all nonprofit organizations. We work with nonprofits to develop a program to meet your organization's needs including: board assessment; customized board trainings on topics such as board development, fundraising and effective meeting techniques; and design and facilitation of board retreats.
Team Development and Effectiveness: Develop your team's ability to capitalize on opportunities and address barriers, while at the same time enhancing formal and emerging leadership.
Diversity Strategy and Consultation: Help your organization to develop a
diversity strategy that capitalizes on the talents, experiences and skills of a broader base of people to strengthen the cultural and leadership fabric of the group.
