For this client, we walked into a difficult situation. The previous executive director’s contract had not been renewed as the board no longer felt the individual was the right person for the job and the president of the organization quit days before one of their largest events. This client had significant PR & relationship management issues that needed to be addressed immediately. Basically, they needed a complete reset. Another challenge was the large commitments made by the organization prior to partnering with Tallent Co. These commitments had to be completed concurrent to creating a new organizational strategy while running day to day operations. Within three months of working with this organization, we helped them to host their highest attended event ever, increase fundraising and community involvement, and create a clear strategic plan that re-engaged their current and new members of the organization. At the same time Tallent Co. repaired relationships with what are now the two biggest stakeholders that ended up providing a substantial financial assistance to the organization.
This client routinely held events each year that were below their anticipated attendance, didn’t fundraise enough money, and didn’t align with their organization’s goals. They were consistently losing money on events and no longer saw the purpose in hosting them.
