Best Practices and Measurements of Success or... how to avoid the most common pitfalls
Our clients often come to us after it's too late, or the project has already begun. It's easy to sign a contract, purchase a piece of software that you think will answer all your problems, and then find out it might not be exactly what your team was expecting. Cygnet Consulting Group seeks to avoid those circumstances by:
- Creating or providing tools to facilitate communication with both technical and non-technical audiences. Track project implementation and ongoing assignments. Remember, nothing is ever stagnant in nonprofits. The environment is always changing and you have to change with it.
- Developing tools and measurements to gather and analyze data, establish benchmarks, and create easily duplicated management reports.
- Training more than one person to easily replicate each task. Turnover is sure to happen as soon as you fail to prepare for it.
- Implementing simple strategies for success, following best practices, and providing proven tips to make the implementation less stressful.
- Making sure you know the strengths and weaknesses of the product before you purchase! The best implementation is one in which realistic expectations for your online community have been set.
