Consultancy » Strategic review

Eastside offers strategic reviews to social enterprises, charities and NGOs and other socially-oriented businesses to provide an analysis of the organisation’s current business and to assess options for growth or sustainability.

 

Why conduct a strategic review?

 

The third sector is fragmented and there are many charities, NGOs, and housing associations that have matured and now recognise they need to innovate to achieve sustainability and growth. Many organisations are faced by a range of alternative strategic options.

But which is the right one to support innovation and enterprise in the organisation, and to achieve long-term success?

 

Who would benefit?

 

This product is for organisations that are exploring change, and discovering how innovation and enterprise can be employed to enable greater sustainability. This will benefit particularly the senior management and boards of established organisations that:

  • Have reached maturity and are experiencing small or no growth.
  • Are exploring complex range of strategic options for growth.
  • Are seeking to develop a social enterprise.

Case study: Newtec

 

Issue

NewTec, a £2million community centre based in East London, approached Eastside and asked us to conduct a strategic review in light of a decline in funding.

Results

Our work enabled the organisation to restructure successfully and then merge with Newham College.
