Capacity assessment and organisational review

Matrix on Board conducts capacity assessments and reviews of non-profit organisations so that they can strengthen and increase the services they provide.

Matrix also provides program evaluations, which can be undertaken at a point in time or may track the progress of a program across a number of years. Feasibility assessments are also provided to ensure that new ventures are viable.

Regular, relevant and in-depth analysis of where organisations are at and the direction they are heading in, is crucial for the delivery of key objectives. Analysing, reviewing and restructuring your organisation will allow you to make honest assessments of how the organisation can serve the community to its full potential.

What’s the advantage of using Matrix?

Matrix has been undertaking organisational reviews, capacity assessments and restructures since 1997. Our diverse and highly experienced consultants are well-equipped to provide sound information for decision makers. Matrix works with organisations to investigate the feasibility of new programs and services.
