OpX360® Assessments for Each of The Six Operational Areas of Your Nonprofit

Within one hour of completing your assessment, you will receive an Executive Briefing to be shared with your leadership and/or board plus a 70+ page Detailed Report for the person(s) or team ultimately responsible for the specific area of operations.

Included in those reports is your current level of operational competence in a number of key areas, their importance, the consequences of non-performance and the three most important items for you to improve first. Comparable products and services cost significantly more, take much longer to administer and lack the objectivity of over 30 contributors.

What Others Say About OpX360®

Data is critical for insight. OpX360® allowed us to build a data-driven narrative (with objective baseline measurements, improvement recommendations and rationale for capacity building funding) that described the realities of our Fundraising, Marketing & Communications infrastructure for decision makers.

Jon Hirst, Nonprofit Director and Innovation Thought Leader
We’ve paid business consultants many thousands of dollars in recent years. For a fraction of the cost, OpX360® provided us with more focused feedback and recommendations, along with actionable steps for improvement, than our consultants have.

Jim McKee. CPA and Nonprofit Leader
Over a week our leadership went through process improvement training. However, the beauty of OpX360® is that it requires no training and, in less than an hour, you have a clear understanding of what practices need improvement and a plan on how to do that.

Bruce Johnson, Nonprofit Leader and Leadership Advisor
