Strategic Intervention If your initiative is one big puzzle of design, messaging, support, sustainability partnerships, implementation and evaluation issues, Foresight Enterprise Consulting and it's affiliate partners an help fit those pieces together into a coherent strategy that makes sense, and implements successfully. Foresight Enterprise Consulting and it's affiliate partners are skilled in 'big picture' interventions involving initiative design and strategic implementation planning based on it's Principal's decades of experience. We specialize in projects with significant technology and partnership components. Foresight Enterprise Consulting partners with specialized associates when appropriate and provides particular intervention expertise in:   Strategic & Tactical planning initiative development Defining where activities fit in the overall landscape of the sector. Suggesting partnership, networking and collaboration opportunities. Offering initiative-enhancing technology solutions. Providing solutions that leverage the sector's dynamics to your advantage Measurements and metrics of performance (Quality Gates in all phases) We offer four discrete ways of partnering to meet your various needs: PROJECT DEFINE: For projects with definable and measurable objectives. RETAINER: When more general expert council and advice is sought. PROPOSAL ASSESSMENT & REVIEW: Economical proposal review and brainstorming service. IMPLEMENTATION &  FACILITATION: Help developing and stewarding the strategic conversation. Project Define: Creating  A Value When you have a project with definable and measurable objectives this is the best choice for engaging us. Prior to each major assignment, there is an interview to determine: If what you want and what you need are the same? What your assignment objectives are? What the ultimate value and benefits of meeting those objectives are? What metrics are applied to measure success against objectives? What you feel the value of a partnership with Foresight Enterprises Consulting is? What is the benefit of this approach to you? Value is derived from satisfying an objective, not just delivering a process. As an example, if a client defines a survey as what they want, it represents only a methodology intervention - a means to an end that does not add value in itself. What the client may actually need, (and the ultimate objective of the survey or any other intervention), is better cross-functional collaboration of a team and improved response time from its constituency. Meeting these latter objectives is what makes the difference, not the survey. Foresight Enterprise Consulting and it's affiliate partners focuses on qualifying your ultimate objective and the value you are trying to generate. We engage in activities to meet these objectives but do not confuse process with your goals. At the start of each project, clear scope and objectives are established, and a proposal based on this conceptual agreement is generated. We work with you to develop metrics to measure success against objectives. Our implementation methodology is designed to assist you in solving problems so they stay solved. This entails skills transfer and developing a helping relationship designed to broaden your experience and expertise. The process helps you implement effective action plans so you can do it yourself if you wish the next time. This requires engaging our clients in a collaborative role, joining our specialized knowledge with yours. We view all problem solving as a joint undertaking. Retainers: When Access is Value We recommend you consider our retainer services when the value sought is expert counsel and advice rather than a discreet project with a set of predefined deliverables and a finite scope. It is an excellent choice for brainstorming, networking and discussing organizational and project strategy alternatives when formulating initiatives. Foresight Enterprise Consulting and it's affiliate partners offers this service in time allocations of anywhere from one to twelve months. Retainer services focus on quality access and responsiveness versus onsite omnipresence. Onsite visits are scheduled around mutually agreed upon times. In the course of a Retainer arrangement, discreet projects may emerge. These are addressed as independent work assignments in accordance with the project methodology in the paragraph above, and a separate proposal generated for client review before project work begins. Proposal Assessment & Advice Foresight Enterprise Consulting and it's affiliate partners also offers an economical proposal review service and brainstorming session for both nonprofits and funders seeking outside proposal evaluation. It includes a proposal review, insights into making the proposal more donor friendly and some philanthropic and partnership networking.  Implementation & Facilitation Foresight Enterprise Consulting and it's affiliate partners has assisted a number of clients develop their strategic and implementation plans through formal facilitation of their internal discussions around these topics.
