As a not-for-profit or small business leader, you’re busy. There are services to offer, people to be reached, money to be raised. But it can feel as if you’re running in place, doing the same things over and over.

Taking a pause to reflect on your impact is hard. Changing how you do things is even harder. But…what if you could have more impact and it wasn’t about putting in more and more effort?

Entrellis helps organizations build a stronger strategy.

We help you stretch to establish your unique and transformative purpose. We build strategic initiatives with you that are true “big bets” that will make a real difference for your organization. We set goals that are both inspiring and measurable. And we walk you through a creative, well-structured framework to turn ideas into action.

We have adapted tools from the business world such as human-centered design (aka design thinking), lean startup, and execution and tracking tools. We’ve integrated them into an approach specifically designed for social impact leaders.

Using these tools, you’ll be able to clarify your core commitment and work together to achieve it. You’ll know when to say “No.” Your team will track what works, and prioritize high-leverage actions that have real impact for your clients.

We also offer support in facilitation, succession planning, program design, and exploration of new markets and funding opportunities.

How It Works

Most of us are creatures of habit. We come to work and do what we’re used to doing. Our approach helps you build a critical skillset for today’s change-oriented world. By consistently asking, “What can we learn from this?” you’ll start to think more creatively and get comfortable trying things, learning and trying again. These three cross-cutting principles will drive a powerful shift in your organization so you can spend more time on what really matters to you and your clients.
