Our Approach
Your organization is on a journey – it’s adapting, growing, and changing, all in real time.
To keep up with change, it leans on familiar tools – strategic planning, evaluation, and assessment. They’re the cornerstone of thriving communities – in education, nonprofits, churches, government, and industry.
But the demands of doing more with less, bridging the generational divide, and solving new problems as they arise mean team members may not get the training and support they need to assess and grow. The best-case scenario? Approaches to change that do just enough to check the box.
Change happens by degrees, one day at a time. Maybe that’s why it’s easy to miss. Enter Genesis.
We’ve spent decades on the front lines of strategic planning, community building, evaluation, and assessment. We’ve built a powerful network of experts who don’t just talk about change – they quantify what it takes to get there. We are standard-bearers for a new model of scholarship in practice that puts the mission at the heart of the measurables.
When we say “we,” we’re talking about you, too. Shared goals connect communities through achievable shared visions. Processes that seem burdensome at the outset take on a human dimension when they are prioritized and planned in a way that increases institutional capacity.
It adds up to results. We’re addicted to being there to find and celebrate the first flicker of positive change – and to keep pushing your organization to higher and more effective standards.
