On-Demand: The Organizational Assessment

The Organizational Assessment

Capturing an Objective Snapshot of Performance & Potential

This course was originally presented in January 2022. Purchase an on-demand ticket to get access to the recording and materials. 

• Is your community impact organization actually having the impact it says?
• Are effectiveness and efficiency proven attributes of your organization?
• What role must “lived experience” play in a fair organizational assessment?
• Are the key indicators of financial health, organizational culture, community involvement, and demonstrated leadership in diversity, equity and inclusion foundations incorporated into your decision-making and planning

Following two years of unprecedented changes, leaders of community impact organizations must be able to identify the factors affecting the health of their enterprises and relay to the public the results of their work. It is critical that diverse people are speaking from a place of fact to move forward together.

This 90-minute overview of organizational assessments offers a framework for participants to consider the key elements of a reasonable review and have a discussion within their own association, congregation, or charitable cause about what constitutes reasonable evaluation of the key indicators of their performance. The session will feature a guest speaker that recently completed an organizational assessment for their community impact organization.

An organizational assessment is the first step in creating an accountable nonprofit corporation and creates a foundation for deeper-dive fair evaluations aimed at executive director and board performance.
