Accessibility
ALL Nonprofit organizations are working to make our communities strong. Management assistance should be available to all sizes of organizations, including one or two person shops with modest budgets. Vive is committed to making our services accessible to all organizations, and our rate structure is based on this principle.
Broad Knowledgebase
Vive Consulting’s President has spent her entire career working in the nonprofit industry. Daniela has served organizations of all sizes and with diverse missions, from billion dollar community foundations to local animal shelters with modest budgets. Daniela has significant expertise in multiple facets of nonprofit management, from board development, to operations management, communications, fundraising, and software implementation.
Commitment to Your Success
Consulting projects often fail because organizations do not have the resources or the wherewithal to implement their consultants’ recommendations. At Vive Consulting, we are committed to organizational success. We will not pursue a project with an organization unless we feel the organization can sustain the changes we might recommend.
Customized Solutions
Your organization is unique and so are the solutions we offer. Vive Consulting understands that each organization has specific needs and challenges, and we tailor every aspect of our consultation to fit your organization. With Vive, you won’t get a cookie cutter consultation and generic documentation!
Honesty is the Best Policy
Change can be difficult. Hired consultants frequently tell organizations what they want to hear rather than delivering tough messages. Vive Consulting firmly believes that we’d be doing your organization a disservice if we didn’t provide you with our honest opinions.
Knowledge Strategy
All too often nonprofits hire consultants, but the ultimate solutions are not incorporated into the organization’s institutional memory and culture. Vive Consulting always integrates knowledge management strategies into our projects to solve this problem. We are committed to ensuring that our joint work product becomes part of the toolkit that current and future organizational staff can employ in their day to day work.
Personal Touch
Vive is a small company dedicated to ensuring that your organization receives the personalized attention that it deserves. Your organization will deal directly with Vive’s President, rather than with a multitude of different contacts for different purposes. No more fielding calls from multiple sales people, accounts payable, consultants, and trainers!
Stakeholder Involvement
Vive embraces a consulting model that is grounded in stakeholder involvement. In order for your organization’s project to be successful, each group of stakeholder’s expectations must be defined and met. Vive Consulting insists that key executive leaders, board members, and employees participate in our projects.
Transparency
Your organization is expected to maintain complete transparency with the public – why shouldn’t you demand the same from your consultancy? Vive Consulting will not push you through a full sales process before disclosing rates or business practices. All the information you need about our rates, additional fees, consulting model, and services is publicly available on our website.
We’ve Walked in Your Shoes
Vive Consulting has been at all sides of the table. We know what it’s like to be an employee of a nonprofit, a board member, and a consultant providing service to an organization. We understand the nuances of being in each position, and our experience helps us to better serve our clients.
