Moving Hawai`i's NonProfits Forward

Agenda Innovation Hawai`i is a comprehensive strategic planning consulting firm specializing in nonprofit management.  The independent sector is a significant contributor to the American economy, and communities everywhere rely on the delivery of quality services provided by local and national nonprofit organizations. Now, more than ever, tax-exempt organizations must demonstrate a level of accountability and transparency that assures stakeholders and the general public that they are effectively closing the gap between NEED and RESOURCES.

By designing a customized blueprint to strengthen key areas where organizational efficiency is critical, Agenda Innovation Hawai`i provides innovative ways to advance an organization’s stated mission that result in better outcomes. The four focus areas in order of importance are:

1.                  Board Governance – clarification of roles, level of commitment, optimum composition

2.                  Organizational Infrastructure – identify infrastructural needs for long-term sustainability

3.                  Stakeholder Assessment and Management – build consensus, create win-win scenarios

4.                  Fund Development – establish goals, assess options for capacity building, explore revenue streams

Agenda Innovation Hawai`i works with nonprofit leaders to adopt concepts and behaviors that will move their organization forward and remain viable into the future. In difficult economic times, communities depend on a thriving nonprofit sector just as much as they depend on a thriving private sector. The status quo is no longer acceptable when there is so much at stake for so many.

Consultation is designed for nonprofit leadership which includes Board members, Executive Directors, and all management levels. However, it is also recommended that leadership select people within their organization that aspire to advance into leadership roles in the future. Promoting from within builds employee morale and provides an image of stability to the general public.

For our busy leaders, the four focus areas are accelerated into a relatively short but more than sufficient timeframe.  Agenda Innovation Hawai`i ambitiously endeavors to share innovative and dynamic practices with individuals and groups that will enhance Hawai`i’s nonprofit landscape.
