Success Components

SmartStart

Identify the gap between the current state and your desired future state, and complete our proprietary Change Readiness Index™ to understand your board’s readiness to close that gap.

Context Capture

Capture the context for change via board member and executive staff interviews, staff surveys and/or focus groups, and review of key documents, such as strategic plan, board bylaws, committee charters, annual board self-assessment results and annual board commitment forms.

Evolution Path

Design the strategy and create the timeline for your board’s evolution, including key milestones and checkpoints aligned with board meetings.

Artifacts Excavation™

Through our proprietary Artifacts Excavation™ Process, we identify, unearth, and replace any “artifacts” that conflict with the change you want for your board and organization.

Facilitated Board Work Sessions & Retreats

Using tools and techniques from our Intrapreneurs Influence Lab™ we guide your board’s development of the mindsets and skillsets for necessary change, while also implementing the specific change you want for your board and organization.

Board Chair-CEO Executive Coaching

Significant change requires a strong board chair-CEO partnership, supported through joint and individual coaching sessions.

Client Testimonials

“CSR Communications’ work with us – from designing and facilitating our board retreat to coaching me on effective board leadership and offering specific tips for better meeting management – is concrete, productive, and innovative. Their practical solutions created a real breakthrough in our communication as a board. As a result, our meetings are more effective and efficient.  With their new frameworks for governance and decision-making, we continue to improve and grow as a board and an organization.”

— Ann Maddox Utterback

Board Chair 2017-2022, JF Maddox Foundation

Vice President of External Affairs, Annie E. Casey Foundation

“With CSR Communications as my retreat planning partner for our 40+-person team, I can hand over my vision for the day and they’ll make it happen. Nancy Murphy has led multiple retreats for us, each one custom-designed to accomplish exactly what we needed. Thanks to Nancy’s engaging, yet firm, facilitation style, I can fully participate instead of stepping in to keep us on track.”

— Leslie Boissiere

Vice President of External Affairs, Annie E. Casey Foundation

Director, Baltimore City Mayor's Office of Employment Development

“CSR Communications has been our long-term partner for agency-wide and external, workforce system change journeys. Their work with us has transformed our leadership team, staff and citywide Workforce Development Board in more ways than I can describe. They’ve given us the tools and techniques to make giant leaps toward our economic justice vision.”

— MacKenzie Garvin

Director, Baltimore City Mayor's Office of Employment Development
