What We Offer

Strategic Plan Development

JLK Strategies will work closely with all members of your organization, from your leadership team to your front-line staff, to create a meaningful and effective strategic plan. Whether you have an existing strategic plan that you want to update or you’re looking to create a new plan from the ground up, JLK Strategies will work in partnership with you to create solutions tailored to your organization’s specific needs.

As part of our comprehensive services, JLK Strategies will guide your team through the following stages of the strategic planning process:

  • Creating Mission, Vision and Value statements
  • Conducting an accurate and actionable SWOT analysis
  • Identifying strategic goals that will effectively address your organization’s strategic priorities
  • Developing clear, outcome-oriented action plans
  • Identifying key outcome measures to evaluate the progress of your strategic plan

After the planning process is complete, JLK Strategies will provide your organization with a complete, professionally assembled strategic plan that will be designed to inform your decision-making process in the months and years to come.

Strategic Plan Monitoring

In our constantly changing environment, one of the most important characteristics of any plan is flexibility. JLK Strategies will work with your team to assess your plan on a regular basis to determine if any revisions are needed based on changes within your organization or the environment in which it operates.

Organizational Training

Any organization’s most valuable asset is its team members, so making sure they have the skills they need to succeed in today’s outcome oriented, data driven environment is crucial. JLK Strategies is available to provide thorough and engaging training for your team in a wide variety of topics, including:

  • Concepts of Practical Data Analytics
  • Using Excel for Data Analysis and Reporting
  • How to Choose, Define and Measure Organizational Goals
  • Developing Business Processes that Succeed

In addition, if your organization has particular needs in the areas of data analytics, strategic goals or business process development, JLK will work with you to create and present a tailored training program designed to meet your specified outcomes.

Data Management

Outcome driven services and Key Performance Indicators are becoming increasingly crucial for nonprofits as funding sources are paying closer attention to the impact that their dollars are having. Unfortunately, many organizations do not have well established systems to gather, analyze and report on metrics that demonstrate their impact.

JLK Strategies will work with your team develop a comprehensive data management strategy, either using your existing data technology solutions or identifying new ones. These services include:

  • Providing HIPAA compliant data services using the well established Smartsheet platform.
  • Identifying the metrics that your organization will need to both demonstrate and improve your impact
  • Developing procedures to gather, analyze and report on these metrics
  • Monitoring and reporting on key metrics on a regular basis for less than the cost of hiring a new team member to do so.
