Olive Grove Consulting provides strategic and high-impact services to nonprofit and government
clients. Services include succession planning, search, transitions, strategy, governance, leadership
coaching and facilitation. Olive Grove offers:
  • Sixteen years of consulting on both the local and national scale.

  • An approach that focuses on long-term results versus a transactional engagement; capacity-
    building versus consultant dependence.

  • A facilitative style that encourages real listening and dialogue, at the personal and
    organizational levels.

  • Extensive experience working with small (under $1 million annual operating budget), mid-size
    ($1-5 million), and large ($5 million+) organizations in Northern California and nationally.

  • Extensive experience with founder transitions and succession planning and an ability to coach
    the organization as well as the founder.

  • In-depth training and experience in organization development, change management,
    coaching, strategy, and governance to address the “big picture” as well as day-to-day
    implementation.

  • A valuable organizational assessment  - a comprehensive report that is based on one-on-one
    interviews, focus groups, and surveys of staff, board, funders, and clients.  

  • Over 16 years of world-class nonprofit recruiting experience, including seven years in a
    leading international search firm.  Olive Grove Consulting doesn’t rely on advertising, but
    instead conducts extensive original research and engages in serious recruiting. A typical Olive
    Grove search involves contact with 250-350 individuals, plus broad-based networking through
    advertising, listserves, membership organizations, and other related vehicles.
