The Mission Matrix

Finally - A Bulletproof Decision-Making Tool For NonProfit Organizations To Quickly and Effectively Implement The RIGHT Ideas

If you've had trouble determining which ideas to keep or toss...

If you can't seem to get a consensus on an idea in your Board room...

If emotion has historically trumped logic when discussing ideas to implement...

You just stumbled upon the solution.

Attention Executive Directors, Board Chairs and Committee Leaders:

How often do you battle slow-as-molasses decision-making inside your organization?

How frequently do you hear,

How many great ideas have died because opponents squash them without all the facts?

How often does planning grind to a screeching halt because decisions aren't getting made?

How frequently do you find yourself debating ideas based only on how much they will cost... and nothing else?

If you're like most nonprofit leaders, your answer to the questions above is likely "all the time". I know it all too well. Nonprofit organizations have a common practice that I call Delay and Defer when it comes to ruling on ideas. The result is decisions that should get made now are put off for the . Strong opinions, special interests and external pressure force the questionable (and potentially fatal) decisions through at . It's incredibly frustrating and costly for your organization.

So I'd like you to imagine a scenario where money is not the only filter for decision-making within your organization. Where everyone including staff has an opportunity to provide valuable input on an idea. A decision-making process that eliminates bias in favor of more buy-in. And, at the end of the day, you can confidently own the outcome and the decisions that were made.

Who Am I To Suggest Such A Thing?

Fair question. This is my 28th year serving as Executive Director of Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Boys & Girls Clubs of Miramichi, New Brunswick in Canada. I was hired when the organization was nothing more than a grungy 2-room rented office space, a land line phone, ...and me. Since I began, I've grown the organization's budget from $28,000. to $2.5 Million annually...and it continues to climb every year.

While my organization is a great success today, there were numerous bumps, bruises and casualties along the way. I specifically recall Board meetings where we were hopelessly deadlocked. Meetings where important decisions were delayed month after month, resulting in the predictable eventual death of great ideas. Times when emotion trumped logic, so much that "New Idea Fairies" and "exciting opportunities" were approved - both of which didn't align with our mission and ultimately produced nothing but a drained bank account and a whole lot of finger pointing.

I Saw Early On That We Would Never Fulfill On Our Mission If We Couldn't DECIDE In The Board Room

And even more, we had to collectively make GOOD decisions. In order to do that, we had to know what exactly constitutes a "good" decision. Back then, we had no criteria. No due diligence process. No way to measure. We were a dedicated group of smart people who allowed our humanity, our feelings, our personal agendas, distractions, "pet projects" and external demands rule the day.

As Executive Director, there came a point when I was no longer willing to juggle the idea bombardment from staff, the Board, funders, partners and donors. I refused to continue being a weed picker in the garden of good ideas. So I set out to solve this problem once and for all inside my organization. And I did.

I developed a tool that deals with the facts, rids the emotion and forces a logical decision. A rating system for aligning the key issues, ideas and offerings with the mission. A scoring system that instantly guides the next move. And - without realizing it - I actually developed a surefire way to get buy-in from difficult Board members by asking the right questions. Imagine that YOU were armed with such a tool.

It's No Secret Why You Haven't Solved This Problem Yet - It Took Me Nearly 15 Years To Solve It Myself

I understand what it's like to be paralyzed by the volume of ideas and programs that might prove to be money makers rather than mission makers. No doubt the overwhelm you've experienced up to this point has stopped you from knowing where to start. Let's face it - decisions are hard. . The opposition you face in your day-to-day responsibilities has created a situation where you simply give in. Listen, I get it. And it's very timely that we are being introduced now. Whether you realize it or not, you just stumbled upon the answer to your Board room decision-making woes…

Decide now that this year will be different for you. If you don't do it for your organization, do it for the mission.
