Ways We Help
Future Ready Organizations: Capacity and Capability Building
PMB’s Future Ready Capacity and Capability Building Services are designed to equip non-profits for the challenges of an uncertain future. We begin by thoroughly assessing your assets and costs, including detailed unit cost analysis and market research on both current and potential competitors. Our team helps you determine the true cost of delivering services, develop competitive pricing strategies, and evaluate (and optimize) your business model and service delivery effectiveness. Additionally, we work with you to identify potential risks, create revenue diversification plans, and strengthen your organization’s resilience to emerging and ongoing trends. With a comprehensive approach, we ensure that your organization is not only prepared for the future but poised to thrive in it.
At People Minded Business, we champion inclusive solutions by ensuring every voice that is impacted by a decision is heard in the process of determining it — from those with lived experience to employees, boards, and community partners.
Through research, consultations, collaborations, and co-design, we empower organizations to overcome challenges and create new opportunities.
People Minded Business was founded on the principle that ‘people support what they help co-create.’ We call this approach WITHology and it is embedded in everything we do:
Human Centred Strategic Planning
At PMB, our human-centered strategic planning services take a fresh approach by placing the voices of your constituents at the heart of the process. Unlike traditional strategic planning that often results in generic, prescriptive recommendations, we focus on identifying opportunities that leverage your organization’s strengths. Through thoughtful facilitation, we support your team in co-creating customized strategic priorities that are uniquely tailored to your mission and context. By engaging deeply with your stakeholders, we ensure that the strategies you develop are not only innovative but also deeply resonant with those who are most invested in your success.
Organizational Co-Design
Our unique co-design approach integrates our proprietary WITHology tools with evidence-based methods, ensuring every team member, from front-line to leadership, actively shapes your organization. This fosters alignment with strategic goals and cultivates a resilient, agile organizational culture.
Services Co-Design
At PMB, WITHology represents the pinnacle of modern innovation, blending the finest elements of design thinking, creative problem-solving, and quality improvement approaches. We’ve refined an array of tools and techniques specifically to empower those with lived experience, enabling them to actively co-design the supports and services that affect their lives. WITHology delivers impactful results that resonate deeply with service users, providers, board members, and the broader community, ensuring that every solution is both inclusive and satisfying.
Right Sizing: Alliances and Amalgamations
Non-profits, especially smaller organizations, are struggling to thrive in our changing world. Finding partners who share their values is one way to scale up and ensure financial sustainability. PMB guides non-profits through the complex process of forming strategic partnerships, including alliances, mergers, and amalgamations. We begin by assessing each organization’s readiness including key constituents early on, ensuring that cultural fit and shared values are at the forefront of any collaboration.
Data Driven Decisions: Business and Data Analytics
PMB’s business and data analysis services empower non-profits to make data-informed decisions and optimize their operations. We provide comprehensive cost and pricing analysis, helping you understand your financial landscape and identify opportunities for growth. PMB can assist in finding the right software to enhance your data collection, analysis and visualization capabilities, while also designing and implementing robust data reporting systems tailored to your needs. Based on your data PMB can offer insights into customer behavior, program performance, and operational efficiencies, ensuring that your organization has the analytical tools necessary to drive mission success.
