Scaling Up Members are nonprofit leadership teams/Boards that are frustrated by the dominance of established agencies, impatient with their pace in getting the impact that they deserve, or are anxious about the retirement of a long serving leader or founder.

Is your agency ready for membership in Scaling Up?

• Is your leadership team frustrated with things remaining the way that they are?
• Have you attempted to build a strategic plan or business plan and experienced issues?
• Does your leadership team try to keep learning?
• Is the Executive Director ready to be a prime mover to implement decisions made in planning sessions?
• Is the Board of Directors trying to understand it’s role in strategy and risk management?

NO

If the answer is ‘no,’ the reason is often that your agency is still too small to devote enough time to planning. Small agencies often have Operating Boards of Directors that are involved in program services.

What About Consulting?

Consultants have flooded the market. Anyone with a camera and a Zoom account can now be a consultant. How is this different from coaching?

• Great consultants do excellent analysis but great coaches stay to co-architect the recommended changes after the report is prepared.
• Great consultants teach content in a short time while a great coach promises results over a 1-3 year period
• Great consultants specialize in one mechanism such as fund-raising or board development while a great coach is focused on agency financial sustainability and social impact
