Strategic planning - Does your Board or staff believe an international component to your programs should be developed or expanded, but would benefit from additional focus on where to begin or what factors should be considered? Going International can help you to be strategic in your planning.
Coaching/Advising Going International has a special expertise in coaching senior staff members and volunteer leadership through various implementation phases. This comes from a combined knowledge of strategic planning (how to design effective and practical goals) combined with in-depth knowledge of how organizations actually operate.
Program development - Would your organization benefit from a new or expanded international program? What would a cost-benefit analysis look like? If the benefits outweigh the costs and you decide to proceed, can current staff be reassigned or are additional personnel and resources needed? Going International will help you develop your international program ideas and conduct a cost-benefit analysis.
Organizational Development - Is your organization new or at a key juncture in its organizational history? Going International can help you to think through the steps of organizational development, bringing in examples and models from other organizations worldwide.
Counsel/research - Would you like to further pursue a particular globalization issue (how to structure your membership, how to better represent your international membership or how to internationalize your Board, for example)? Going International can provide counsel and
research, including models and lessons from other organizations, to help you with these decisions.
Environmental scanning - Could your organization benefit from some additional information about the international environment in your field to help you make strategic decisions? Going International can conduct a customized environmental scan to provide you with this information.
Networking - Would affiliations with sister organizations in other countries (or with common international agendas here in the U.S.) be worthwhile? If so, how can potential partners be identified? What options might you pursue for collaboration? Going International can help.
Meetings - Are you planning your first meeting in another country or considering doing so? What factors should be considered? Going International can provide advice and/or help with your planning.
Membership expansion - Analyze if your organization should consider expanding its membership base to other countries. If so, which countries or regions should be targeted? Going International can help with this assessment.
