Overview

Since 1988, Praxis Consulting Group has been assisting nonprofit organizations, businesses and public sector institutions seeking to increase organizational effectiveness. Although non-profits experience many of the same organizational dynamics as for-profit organizations, they are often faced with unique challenges related to funding, succession planning, structure, and responding to ongoing changes in the public and policy environment. Utilizing a collaborative model of consulting, Praxis develops customized approaches to assist each client organization in maximizing the human potential in their workforce in order to better fulfill the organization’s mission.

Strategy

Praxis consultants view each organization as unique. While delivering a broad range of consulting services, Praxis undertakes major organizational development projects by working in partnership with its clients. This usually involves intensive collaboration with a representative planning group within the client organization to assess specific needs and to design appropriate interventions. The key to successful organizational transformation and improvement is to involve employees from all levels in defining the desired outcomes and in implementing any changes.
