Strategic planning should be more than a compliance exercise. It should be your organization’s vision and blueprint for continued positive change, growth and success.

We specialize in helping you make your strategic plans more adaptable to today’s changing environment, as well as making them more accountable, measurable and impactful. We do this by developing formalized action plans to better implement priorities and related strategies. We also provide tools that allow you to reassess or revise your existing plans.

With traditional funding streams decreasing and future revenue sources uncertain for many organizations relying on government funding, you need to be more proactive and aggressive in securing the capital that sustains your core operations and services, while allowing your organization to grow to meet customer needs.

TL Phillips Consulting uses a more comprehensive approach to raise new capital in support of existing/new programs and long-term sustainability and change your culture and strategies around resource development.

Collaboration and collective impact are more important than ever as organizations grapple with how to do more with less, while maintaining quality services and outcomes for their customers.

We recognize the importance and value of collective impact through collaboration with key stakeholders, providers and funders. We have extensive experience in providing an array of customized services to support your initiatives. This includes but is not limited to: challenges/opportunities assessment, proposal framework design including partnership/assets development and roles clarification, roundtable meeting management, and final time-lined plan development and implementation strategies.

Actively protecting the critical government funding base is crucial to your organization’s sustainability. Equally essential in protecting your organization’s future is influencing public policy change that further supports your mission, enhances the services provided to your customers and results in positive, long-term systemic change.

We can help you build a highly effective government relations and advocacy structure, while navigating all necessary regulations. This includes the creation of federal and state board supported legislative priorities, developing “legislative champions,” logistical preparation for public hearings, presentation materials for key legislative leadership, galvanizing collective stakeholder support and other ongoing advocacy strategies.

An unplanned leadership change at the board or senior management level can be a setback that impacts your organization’s performance and ability to deliver effective services for your customers. The truth is, many organizations lack robust succession plans or internal talent pipelines.

TL Phillips Consulting can assist in developing both immediate- and long-term succession plans and board member recruitment strategies. We can also assist in creating a staff development plan to build team knowledge and provide growth opportunities. We offer experienced transitioning senior managers who can expertly fill a role as interim management and will provide critical expertise and capacity, which can provide you with the time to conduct a thoughtful executive search.

Is your board on board? You need well-informed, educated, and engaged leaders that understand and actively support the vision and mission of your organization. Board members need to be personally involved and engaged in your organization’s activities and initiatives to instill ownership and commitment.

We build strategic frameworks to create more engaged and effective boards. Our custom board engagement plans are unique for every organization and include elements like by-law revisions, learning opportunities, meeting re-design, succession planning, establishing a governance committee, standing committee work plans, retreat planning, and more!

It is critical for your organization to stand out and demonstrate its value and support long-term sustainability. Cutting through the clutter and delivering your key messages clearly and concisely is more important now than ever. Equally important, is ensuring that your team is properly informed and has a full understanding of your mission, products and services, because we all know that your employees are your strongest advocates and ambassadors.

When new senior executives have been hired, or promoted from within, there is usually a need to immediately address many challenges and opportunities to support their organization’s mission and emerging priorities.

We have many years of relevant senior management and leadership experience in both the nonprofit and public sectors that can be of great assistance in being more proactive and results driven, to ensure the best outcomes and desired results are achieved.

Hiring a top executive dictates the success of your organization for years to come. The right person will lead you to a prosperous and sustainable future. We can help you find the perfect fit.

Following a thorough and deliberate process we provide executive search services to organizations. We source, screen, interview, and deliver qualified candidates for your organization’s management positions. This work includes meeting with your human resources contact and the hiring manager to determine the position description and ideal candidate qualifications, creating a job description and targeting the right candidates to meet your needs.

We’ll develop detailed profiles of potential candidates selected for an interview. After the finalists are determined, we conduct extensive reference checks and present the results to the organization. We’ll deliver a diverse slate of qualified candidates in a timely and cost-efficient manner, so you can focus on selecting the perfect fit for your organization’s future.
