The document discusses organizational capacity assessment and building. It begins by providing an analogy comparing organizational development to building a cathedral, where each person's role contributes to the larger goal even if they never see it completed. It then outlines the McKinsey tool and elements of analysis used for the assessment, which examines aspirations, strategies, skills, resources, systems, structure, and culture. The document provides guidance on conducting the assessment, emphasizing clear objectives, management commitment, participatory involvement, and patience. It concludes by outlining the planned group assessments for the exercise.

New Frameworks for Measuring Capacity and Assessing PerformanceTCC Group
If we start with the assumption that — in order to improve our social sector as a whole — those who do the work to strengthen our communities (the nonprofits) are equally as critical as those responsible for providing the resources for the work to get done (the foundations), then why wouldn’t we expect all social sector actors to build their capacity? How do we know when our grantees and our foundations are becoming more effective and impactful as a result of our capacity investments, organizational development efforts and technical assistance? What does a high performing organization or foundation look like? And can we measure that?
This presentation, provided during the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations 2016 National Conference in Minneapolis, reviews and demonstrates existing resources for assessing nonprofit and foundation capacity and effectiveness. Speakers introduced the pros and cons of a variety of rubrics in use in the field and offered guidance on how funders decide on the right fit for the desired purpose. Grantmaker peers also shared how they used different frameworks and tools to assess individual nonprofits and grantee cohorts. Session participants left with increased awareness of the importance of the facilitator’s role in interpreting data gleaned from assessments and of the data collection methods most appropriate for their organization.
This is a series of Capacity Building documents that was prepared by the Sudanese Youth Leadership Development Program.

Culture Is Everyone's Responsibility Infographic by Denise Lee YohnDenise Yohn
For an organization to achieve its desired culture, everyone must have a clear, consistent, common understanding of it -- and everyone must work together in a deliberate and coordinated effort to cultivate it. While each person or group is accountable in their own way, everyone shares accountability for achieving the desired culture.

We need blended organisational structures, capabilities, leadership, talent and culture for a sustainable competitive advantage. We need collaboration across boundaries, innovation, agility, digital enablement, culture engagement and strategic and embedded change management. We need leaders and HC to design, drive and enable organisational responsiveness.
A critical component of board governance is overseeing the organization and determining its strategic direction. Strategic planning is more than a work plan for the organization. Learn how organizations can benefit from the strategic planning process itself, how to identify the right facilitator, and specific tools for implementation and accountability.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

What drives you? The larger
picture or your daily job
• It often took several generations and thousands of laborers to
build a single cathedral. Many would work their entire lives
knowing that they would never see the cathedral’s completion.
When we are part of an organization. We may have
the opportunity in our lives to contribute to the creation of
something great, something larger than ourselves.
• Our specific role may at times seem minor relative to the
larger effort, but each role, each activity, contributes in some
way toward the larger goal. To be effective in social change,
to maintain one’s focus and motivation, it is important to retain
perspective by inspiring ourselves and others with the ideas
that fuel our civic imagination and remind us of the “cathedral”
we are building together.

Getting the best result through this
exercise
• The purpose is clear.
• Whether the intervention’s objective is to strengthen the entire organization or only a specific
function or component of the organization, determine your priorities, set achievable goals, and do
the simple things first. With capacity building, it is important to separate the work you can do from
what you must do. Set goals that focus on what must be done and make sure those goals are
achievable. If getting started becomes a challenge, take on a few simple tasks first. The
momentum from a small amount of progress can help energize the organization to take on bigger
challenges.
• Top management is committed. Senior management must be willing to lead by example and
exercise authority in ways that allow others’ creativity to flourish. True capacity building requires
leadership to be willing to recognize its limitations and prepared to address sometimes complex
management and structural issues.
• A capacity–building task force is created. One person cannot undertake strengthening and
growing an organization. Creating a special team to help define goals, carry out the OCA and
follow up will improve the organization’s chances of success.
6. www.iwmi.org
A water-secure world
Getting the best result through this
exercise
• The whole organization gets involved. Decades of research on organizational
development practice show that participatory approaches lead to more ambitious
goals, a more highly motivated and productive work force, a common mission and
shared sense of self-worth, continuous performance improvement and greater
creativity and innovation. A core OCA team includes representatives from the
organization’s management, administration, finance and technical departments,
Board members, volunteers as well as beneficiaries.
• Time for the OCA is set aside. Designate time to focus on organizational growth. This
may mean several days in a week for an intensive meeting, a few hours a week over
the course of a month or a day once a month over several months.
• Patience and perseverance are practiced. If the goal is immediate knowledge or skill
development, it may be tackled quickly and easily. However, effective capacity
building is rarely confined to one isolated aspect of the organization. Addressing the
organization’s longer term strength, viability, relevance and sustainability, is less
likely to respond to a quick fix than an organizational commitment.
• The Organization stays true to itself. The process should be locally designed and
managed to satisfy the organization’s needs rather than any donor’s.

Aspirations
• The mission, vision, purpose and goals that define an Organization. They succinctly spell out what the organization does and
does not do. The most successful Organizations are those that are able to clearly articulate these elements. (Martin Luther
Video)
Vision: outlines what the organization wants to be, or how it wants the world in which it operates to be (an "idealized" view of the
world). It is a long-term view and concentrates on the future. It can be and is a source of inspiration. For example, a charity
working with the poor might have a vision statement which reads "A World without Poverty."
Mission: Defines the fundamental purpose of an organization or an enterprise, succinctly describing why it exists and what it does
to achieve its vision. For example, the charity above might have a mission statement as "providing jobs for the homeless and
unemployed".
Goal - Goal-setting ideally involves establishing specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-targeted (S.M.A.R.T.)
objectives
Strategies
• The set of specific inter-related activities that embody the means for achieving an Organization’s aspirations.
Strategy: Strategy, narrowly defined, means "the art of the general".[ - a combination of the ends (goals) for which the firm is
striving and the means (policies) by which it is seeking to get there. A strategy is sometimes called a roadmap - which is the path
chosen to plow towards the end vision. The most important part of implementing the strategy is ensuring the company is going in
the right direction which is towards the end vision.
10. www.iwmi.org

Concepts in the tool.
Organizational skills
• The complete range of organizational capabilities brought to bear on
planning, implementing and evaluating an ORGANIZATIONs
programs and activities. Identifying and addressing ―skill gaps‖ in
these capabilities is an important part of the capacity building
process.
Human Resources
• The combined talents, commitment and drive of the people (Board,
management, staff, volunteers, etc.) within an organization.
Maximizing human resources starts with attracting talented, highly
qualified people. Retaining people and empowering them to fully
realize their potential often distinguishes high-performing
organizations from their more mediocre counterparts.
11. www.iwmi.org
A water-secure world
Concepts in the tool.
Internal systems
• The gears—processes, procedures and controls—that drive the engine of
organizational functioning. These are often complex and a source of
frustration for management and staff when work is delayed because they do
not work well. They can also undermine relationships with donors when
financial or progress reports are late or inaccurate because the systems fail
to generate timely and accurate information. Capacity building efforts are
often oriented toward strengthening systems that produce financial
management, performance monitoring and evaluation information. (Bill
gates video)
Organizational structure
• Functions such as reporting relationships, board-management roles and
responsibilities, job definition, the interface between organizational
departments and components, etc. Organizational restructuring must be
part of an approach that fully integrates the other elements of capacity
building described in this section.
12. www.iwmi.org
A water-secure world
Concepts in the tool.
Organizational Culture
• Organizations generally attract people motivated by an ideology of making
the world a better place. This motivation is often stronger than the
attractions of higher salaries and benefits, comfortable working conditions
and promises of advancement that may characterize other career paths. As
such, the organizational culture of Organizations tends to be driven by
ideological considerations, with beliefs, values, behavioral norms and
attitudes toward performance quality often expressed in ideological terms.
McKinsey refers to organizational culture as the ―connective tissue that
binds together the organization
