Launch
From Idea to Impact.
You have an idea. It's strategic, exciting, and aligned with your mission. You have conversations with your board, and they like it too. But months go by, and it's still just an idea.
Meanwhile, your team is stretched thin, and this "important but not urgent" initiative keeps getting pushed aside.
I work with leaders to turn great ideas into programs that finally happen.
For Nonprofits
Your board loves the new program idea, but your team is already maxed out. You need this to enhance, not overwhelm, your current work.
How I Help: A successful launch is about ensuring every part of your organization is aligned and excited. I look at your existing work and identify opportunities for your new idea to strengthen rather than compete with it, while building sustainable processes that thrive long after launch.
For Foundations
You want to move beyond traditional grantmaking to test new approaches to support your partners, but internal processes aren't built for rapid experimentation.
How I Help: I work with your team to design pilots that satisfy due diligence requirements while building a culture of learning and strategic risk-taking, ensuring your creative ideas can be tested and measured with the flexibility they need to succeed.
For Employers
You know investing in workforce development is the right thing to do, but you're not sure how to design something that actually moves the needle for both employees and business goals.
How I Help: I design employer-led programs that create clear pathways to career advancement, while simultaneously addressing your specific talent needs and retention challenges so that your investment generates measurable ROI for both your people and your business.
"I hired Noella as a thought partner to lead the design and implementation of the Bridge to Prosperity pilot. After several months of high-level design discussions with multiple partners, Noella was essential to putting the pieces together and solving a number of last-mile challenges. In no time, we had a clear work plan, a streamlined recruitment process, the necessary supporting documentation, finalized participant payments, and successfully launched our first cohort of 18 working families. Noella leapt into action, immersed herself in the project with remarkable speed, and was pivotal to making it all happen."
