Our Approach to Organizations

The 360 Group works best with organizations that recognize that leadership transitions can present opportunities for strategic self-examination. Groups that understand the need for strength throughout the organization are perfectly poised to benefit from our assistance.

We work with foundations and larger nonprofit organizations about which the following are generally true:

  • Strategy guides our clients' decisions -- not operations, administration, or fundraising pressures
  • Our clients want to think broadly and creatively about new leaders
  • Our clients have boards of directors who are prepared to use best board governance practices
  • Because of our search-plus orientation, we have ongoing relationships with our clients, as organizations face varying challenges at different stages of maturity
  • Our clients recognize our value as strategic advisors that help to deliver important work to communities
  • Our clients view their relationship with our firm as an investment in their future

As you think about choosing a consultant to help you through a transition, there are many considerations. We pride ourselves on adding value well beyond identifying the right candidate. Still, it's a complicated choice. Our focus on diversity and organizational effectiveness has a lasting effect on the effectiveness of our Client Partners.
