Strategic Planning to provide a roadmap for real, positive change
We can work with you at Board and senior management level - and consult with both internal and external stakeholders - to compile a Strategic Plan which will not simply gather dust over time. Rather it will be a living, vibrant document which provides a measurable template for real, tangible improvement and growth.
We will ensure that your Strategic Plan sets out detailed, specific action steps which provide your senior management team and your Board with a sound basis for the all-important implementation programme; by delivering on those action steps, your organisation can be assured that the key objectives identified in your strategic planning process are successfully achieved.
Transforming your Visitor Experience
For Galleries, Museums and Culture and Heritage sites, we specialise in analysing the visitor experience and identifying ways in which that experience can be improved. We can conduct a full audit of your visitor offering and then devise a detailed plan to bring that offering on to a new level.
We can also oversee the projects which will bring about those improvements, with the ultimate aim of increasing visitor numbers and turnover.
For example, you might need to work on the presentation of your brand, on booking and ticketing, on wayfinding and signage, or on the visitor’s experience on the day from arrival to departure and beyond. We can work with you to oversee and manage those projects and initiatives on your behalf, using our experience to ensure your best interests are represented at all times.
Fund-Raising Planning
With thirty years’ experience in conducting Major Gift Fund-Raising campaigns and other fund-raising programmes, no-one is better placed to advise you on your fund-raising potential in Ireland and abroad.
We can conduct a comprehensive audit of your existing fund-raising operation or advise you on how to get in to the whole world of philanthropic income generation.
By carrying out a Fund-Raising Planning Study, we can provide your organisation with a template to help you raise funds for both Capital Projects and programme-related requirements from a range of sources, including High-Net-Worth Individuals, Corporates, Government & State Bodies and Charitable Trusts & Foundations.
We do this by consulting with a wide range of your internal and external stakeholders to evaluate your organisation’s potential across four key pillars of any successful campaign – Case for Support, Leadership, Potential Donors and Campaign Strategy.
We have worked on campaigns and strategies that have raised over €40 million for organisations like yours. Contact us today to see how we can bring your fund-raising on to a new level.
Project Management
Perhaps you have a specific project that you know your organisation needs to work on, or a gap in your customer offering that really needs to be addressed. But the lack of available time or in-house expertise means that you are not in a position to steer and drive that project.
Whatever that project may be, Cornerstone can help with a rigorous selection / procurement process which will identify the best candidate for you, and then manage that candidate and the overall project, safeguarding your interests to ensure that they deliver the best possible final product, tailor-made for your organisation and its key requirements.
