Mission Critical Communities & Strategic Alliances

TESTIMONIAL

"We used Onyx to facilitate a discussion about how we might strengthen our community of practice among relevant NASEM divisions and stakeholders. Onyx did a great job of sifting through a complicated web of organizational priorities and perspectives...we were pleased with the outcomes of our strategic discussions together and are moving forward based on their analysis."


Holly Rhodes, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine

Creating mutually beneficial communities of practice (CoP), partnerships or alliances is key to nonprofit impact and sustainability.  These productive relationships have the potential to share strengths, risks, challenges and rewards.  


At a basic level, Onyx Strategies Group can:


  • Determine your organization’s ability to create a CoP or strategic alliance and its capacity to lead, sustain and productively participate.


  • Define potential alliance or CoP partners using data to support recommendations.


  • Counsel clients for how to build a strategy for trust among partners and stakeholders as well as how to launch, manage, evaluate and dismantle an alliance or CoP.

TESTIMONIAL

"Onyx helped us see the benefit of building an alliance of civil rights preservationists. Their recommendations for success have us excited about how we approach the design process to better support these sites!  We are grateful for their partnership and counsel!"


Alan Spears, National Parks Conservation Association

Strategic Planning & Thought Partnership

  • OSG Strategic Planning:   All successful nonprofits have a comprehensive strategy - one that clearly defines goals and metrics for success. If your nonprofit lacks a clear sense of direction, it’s time to get serious about a blueprint that will demonstrate purpose and impact.  OSG can develop a customized, strategic planning framework that will serve as your organization’s “north star”. Our approach is more thoughtful than other strategic planning consultants because we include change management principles to encourage forward movement. Our experience has shown us that creating a new strategy does not always mean it will yield enthusiasm among all staff, partners and stakeholders. Therefore, inserting relevant change management principles in your plan will help critical audiences pivot to your new way of doing business.


  • OSG Thought Partnership:  Have you ever needed a gut check about a big idea? Are you uncertain about how the notion will be received by external and/or internal stakeholders? Let OSG be your sounding board. We listen, gather appropriate data, provide feedback and recommendations for potential implementation. We love helping clients elevate their best thinking and seeing the potential for navigating a new way forward to strengthen organizational impact.   


TESTIMONIAL

"Onyx's work was of very high quality. They were able to handle a complex environment of multiple client inputs very well. We would definitely use them again if needed and would highly recommend them for strategic planning and thought partnership".


Wayne Motts, Gettysburg Foundation

Board Development

Strong boards are accountable and dynamic – easily shifting when priorities change - and have diversity within its ranks. 


If your board suffers from:

  • Micromanagement
  • Unproductive and weak committees
  • Does not rotate board members
  • Fails to orient new members
  • Fails to define roles and duties
  • Fails to have a robust strategy, and
  • Remains too small and/or retains unproductive members.


Reach out to Onyx for support. We can:

  • Help implement board performance evaluations.
  • Help evaluate and re-shape board systems and policies, where prudent. 
  • Provide training to help align board performance and structure to organizational strategy.

TESTIMONIAL
