Maximizing Results of an NGO through the Systemic Model
of Strategic People Management

This consulting work was conducted in an NGO is a Family Business Institute born in 2003, inspired by the family matriarch values. In 2004 he received the organization certificate of the Civil Society of Public Interest (OSCIP). Since the beginning of this NGO is dedicated to identifying and supporting initiatives that contribute to improving the quality of life of the regions where it operates. Its line of work demonstrate the potential of local actors to understand their role in community development. So instead of doing the other, this NGO's principle do with the other, aimed at autonomy and local strengthening, guiding the growth process in a unique way, developing projects that take into account the demands, thus respecting the characteristics specific to each region.
The consulting work that NGOs intended to maximize your results using the systemic model of Strategic People Management.
We had the opportunity to design a specific program based on our methodology of Strategic People Management, for we recognize that this is the methodology of greater impact on the overall performance of the institution. It is a proven methodology, highly effective and that was absolutely able to meet the objective of this project.
As the main contact for this development was initially indicated the administrative manager of this NGO and later followed this contact with the President because the chosen methodological tool requires the involvement of the strategic level of the organization.
Driving this development started from meetings with the President, Directors, analysts and engineers, comprising panels (called by our panels expert consultants) as part of the methodology, which involved in-person meetings with those involved in each particular step in thereby generating a value chain that helped this NGO in achieving results.
The diagnosis of this project had an initial meeting with the institution's manager, who described in a presentation the structure of the NGO.
In this first presentation, deficiencies were noted in the description of the activities of the Institute, is reported as the primary need an alignment of the description of the profile and the composition of manageable goals. It was also mentioned a difficulty in establishing business goals and reporting flow.
previous projects were also mentioned not completed and cited a blurring of positions, because this NGO conceived operation for positions, and not by function, which caused rework and difficulties in measuring results.
In this consulting work it identified that the NGO had adopted a practice of execution of activities defined by position, not by function, although several members of its management team to exercise more than one function, though not described with adequate precision to the aggregation business value.
Also found that although there were documents already drawn up for job descriptions, they did not know to use them with strategic and managerial value.
After this diagnostic phase, was elected the following needs of the Institute:

The results fell short of the desirable and the Strategic Management Model of Persons maximize the results, because through it the management of the performance of the NGO would be held by the People Performance Management;
A description of existing functions did not reflect reality and did not meet the customer's needs;
The organization chart did not reflect an appropriate functional running the business;
Customer lacked adding activities script chain value.

The scope of this project then was the development of a systemic model of Strategic People Management, which allows an ideal environment in the Institute of Value Chain that is generating results, with performance monitoring of people in order to maximize results.
After the diagnosis, the team of consultants, after transforming the activities described and identified on aggregative targets value for the Institute, presented and received customer approval to recommend the following actions:

Creating a system model Institute of performance management through the performance management of people;
Creating a systemic value chain between all departments and all functions to generate results;
Creating a systemic value chain of achievement of performance objectives defined in cascade and panel and framed in their activities that generate results of each function;
Redesign of the Organization Chart (Generating Business Value Chain);
Redesign of the functions (activities that generate income, 3 to 6 per person);
Model Technical skills (technical skills, 6 to 10 per function);
Model of Behavioural Skills (behavioral skills, 6 to 10 by function).

After finishing this consulting work in this NGO, the PWA Consulting achieved its goal as planned deliveries were made in full without any distortion or missing items. It was also noted that the client demonstrated understanding of the tool from the methodology adopted and dirimiu your questions in about 20 additional hours of meetings, phone calls and guidance by email.

The tool is complex to understand in the Institute, but this advice to PWA had the opportunity to pass on this knowledge to you.
You also understood and demonstrated, the final delivery of meeting this consulting project, which considered this very interesting methodology and truly creates value to the NGO as a whole, and noted that could be further explored and applied this methodology is considered a long space dedicated to this application, given its complexity and this being the first time they were exposed to this level of challenge.
In this sense, the PWA has chosen to devote more time than suggested in the initial scope at no charge to the customer, and thus ensure that the project was delivered within the planned scope, meeting all customer needs to understand the application of this methodology.
You became aware that the deliverables of this project will require rigorous application of this model, maximizing the results of the NGO through the Institute of performance management through the Strategic People Management.
