Organisational reviews
We have completed organisational reviews for non-government human services organisations, as well as private enterprises. Our reviews have examined: ‘functional alignment’ (how an organisation’s functions and activities align with their charter, strategic objectives, best practice and funding agreements); ‘effectiveness and efficiency’ (to identify the opportunities that exist for an organisation to improve its outputs, outcomes and impact); and ‘capability’ (to explore the extent to which an organisation’s structure, people and governance align with its charter, strategic objectives, best practice and funding agreements).We will work with you to tailor a review that is responsive to your needs and priorities and which aligns with your timelines and budget.
