WAVE NINE IS AN OKR CONSULTANCY FOR MISSION-DRIVEN ORGANIZATIONS
501(c) (3)s, b-corps and social impact organizations are facing many challenges. They need to operate with less funds while providing for an ever-growing demand in the communities they work with. They need to battle staff burnout and staff attrition, higher expenses, and less forecast-ability of donations. They are required to provide more proof of impact to boards and donors than ever - all without being given funds to invest in complex operations. We get it. That's why Wave Nine is helping mission-driven organizations align teams with measurable outcomes through OKRs, structured operating rhythms and WorkBoard implementations for tracking and reporting. So that everyone in your organizations easily understand how they can best impact the strategy, focus on the right work to do that, and feed a source-of-truth for strategic projects, project impact, and visibility into how it all aligns up to the mission.
The proven approach for leaders at:


NON-PROFITS ARE UNDER IMMENSE PRESSURE TO SCALE IMPACT
Mission-driven organizations are asked the impossible:

What our customers get from working with us:
UNSURE IF WAVE NINE CONSULTING IS FIT FOR YOUR ORG CULTURE?
WE GET IT. TYPICAL OKR AND STRATEGY CONSULTING DOESN’T WORK FOR MISSION-DRIVEN ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE IT:
Isn’t tailored for mission-driven staff and culture
Doesn’t acknowledge how a mission-driven organization works differently from a SaaS or VC funded company
Isn’t hands-on enough to actually support change, not just talk
Not scalable enough because single individuals can’t effectively transform an organization alone
Different to normal business consulting groups, Wave Nine's OKR consulting approach is specifically built for mission-driven organizations of passionate practitioners. We focus on customizing a culturally-fit process and embed it into your existing processes and DNA. Because your people are your best assets, and our OKRs approach is all about making it easier and simpler for them to do the right work. Nothing more and nothing less. Why? Because we worked in the industry ourselves.
