Kate Harris Group - dovetail : dovetail

Mission Statement

Kate Harris Group supports organizations navigating significant change. This often looks like strategic affiliations or mergers, restructuring, leadership transitions, sunsetting or dissolution. The only constant is change. So if you’re envisioning something beyond what’s right in front of you - ask yourself: “Where would we go if we weren’t afraid of how to get there?”

Why do you think it’s important for your business or organization to support nonprofits and community organizations in Southeast Michigan and what kind of positive impact do you think your work could have?

There are a lot of pressures on nonprofits - especially now - to adjust to a new normal. Nonprofit mergers and acquisitions is a specialized skillset requiring experience and technical expertise. Organizations that think they may be able to advance their mission through some form of affiliation or consolidation need guidance to avoid wasting time, energy, and resources. Merger is not for everyone, but those that have successfully completed merger cite working with an experienced consultant as one of their keys to success. http://www.thepowerofpossibility.org/resources/thinking-critically-facilitators.
