How We Deliver
By leading hands-on workshops aimed at assessing partner organizations’ management strengths and weaknesses, we foster opportunities to learn in a supportive, impact-focused setting. KANAVA® facilitators have been recognized worldwide for their ability to inspire open, honest conversations that spur real change.
Assessment
KANAVA® experts work directly with organizational leaders and staff to assess their management systems. This guided, collaborative process ensures buy-in and leads to meaningful change across the organization. KANAVA® offers:
Comprehensive assessments of organizations' management operational platforms. Using our Impact Strengthening Development (ISD®) tool, KANAVA® will work with your organization to design an assessment customized to your budget and available personnel.
Tailored sessions to address specific management capacity challenges. For organizations with pre-identified needs, we will work with management to conduct an advance baseline survey of participants to pinpoint goals and assess current knowledge.
Training
Once the assessment phase is complete, KANAVA® organizes specialized training sessions for specific functional areas needing improvement. From human resources to financial management, we work with the people directly responsible for affecting change. KANAVA® offers:
One-on-one or classroom-style trainings, including for multiple organizations working toward common goals.
Mentoring and coaching for organizational staff and managers.
Templates outlining best practices and how to implement them.
Research & Analysis
After every assessment and training activity, KANAVA® experts work with the organizations they have advised to document lessons learned and look for ways to continuously refine policies and procedures. KANAVA® offers:
Critical analysis based on data, comparative assessment and knowledge of best practices.
Geopolitical studies and "big data" market research by country, region, customer, or value chain.
