Case Study: Ensuring Stability During Leadership Transition
When a nonprofit faces significant leadership challenges and key team member turnover, operational continuity and employee retention become the top priorities.
A nonprofit organization dedicated to humanitarian advocacy and cultural integration needed more than just a temporary manager; they needed a strategic partner to work collaboratively to stabilize their team, manage daily operations and prepare the organization for new executive leadership.
Mission Mappers stepped in as fractional COO/Chief of Staff for a 16-month engagement. The result? A stabilized team, essential process implementation, utilization of $270K in grant funds that otherwise would have been missed as a result of the leadership transition and seamless onboarding of a new leader.
Discover how a fractional leadership model provided the critical support needed for this nonprofit organization during a pivotal moment of change.
How It’s Going. How It Began.
My clients and I spend a lot of time creating roadmaps to move from where they are to where they want to go. As we reach each milestone, it’s easy to jump right into the next one without pausing to reflect on how far we’ve come and to take a minute to celebrate.
I was reminded of the importance of this as I ran across a vlog that Next Stage was kind enough to suggest, record with me and publish to announce Mission Mappers in 2023.
Enjoy this fun conversation I had with Josh Jacobson, CEO, and Janet Ervin, former CMO, to mark the beginning of my Mission Mappers journey.
How does your team pause to reflect and celebrate how far you’ve come?
Case Study: Building Sustainable, Scalable Systems at Digi-Bridge
When Digi-Bridge’s 10-person team found themselves running more than 30 school partnerships delivering STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) programs, they turned to Mission Mappers to build the systems that would make growth sustainable. What started as a program audit evolved into a full-scale operational reset, leading to stronger school relationships, higher facilitator retention and new programs already generating waitlists.
