Services
About 70% of strategic plans fail. Only 1 in 11 companies achieve profitable growth (Bain & Co). The static strategic plan is dead – you must adapt.
Nava employs strong benchmarks and tools to define and enable strategies that leverage the power of core operations with strategic decisions. That is, analyzing vision and strategy, redefining the operating model and managing the change journey to deliver sustainable impact and value. Nava is the architect for enabling your end-to-end value journey by leveraging well-honed quality service, strategic thinking, and analytical decision-making. Organizations need more than just a standard and static strategy or generic training – it must be adaptable, holistic and future backwards.
Let's Collaborate to Create Positive Change and Build a Stronger Community Together!
Together, we can build a better future for all. Whether you’re a non-profit organization, social enterprise, or creative visionary, our consulting services are tailored to meet your unique needs and drive meaningful impact.
Strategy
Strategic analysis navigates the complex external environment, by first turning inward to assess the current state and uncover gaps by validating the nature and impacts of the problem. This includes internal and stakeholder analysis; external analysis, core competencies, strategic management tools, visioning, to name a few. We also design evaluation sessions dedicated to logic models and results chains.
Capacity Building
Effective teams require holistic and tailored trainings. What skills and gaps exist? Are there success metrics? We focus on a variety of competencies, not limited to strategic planning, community development approaches (such as engagement, outreach, program development), anti-oppression, wellness, justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI), research and evaluations, creating an action-oriented resource, policy or advisory team, communication (e.g. empathy building, team building and communication), or a bespoke training. Let’s elevate your achievements.
Research & Evaluations
Telling stories, conveying a message or advocacy require data in today’s world. Research is often more interested in producing generalizable, scientific knowledge, more theoretical, or to produce primary data. Evaluation is interested in specific, applied knowledge where stakeholder interest is high. We provide tools and training around primary and secondary data, and best practices. What are you trying to learn, and what kind of information is needed?
Logic Models & Theory of Change
Services and programs are not linear – a range of factors influence results. How can you get the team involved to build a common understanding of goals, processes and expectations for resources? A TOC is used to capture complex social impacts through underlying assumptions. These tools help to better share ideas, identify assumptions, build your team and effectively communicate vision and impacts.
Red Teaming
A red team helps get you out of a decision-making rut through the deliberate application of independent critical thought. This helps to improve ideas or strategies through critical opposition by rigorously challenging plans, policies, systems and assumptions. Red teaming involves a range of structured, creative and critical thinking techniques to assist in better informed group decisions. It’s often effective in helping groups overcome bias and to broaden problem-solving capabilities. Speak to us to learn more.
