Nonprofits need more funding. Funders need more confidence.
More confidence comes from demonstrated operational competence. Greater competence yields more funding. Operational competence can be measured and we can help you improve it with OpX360®.
The OpX360 (for Operational Excellence 360) instrument is a simple, yet comprehensive, artificial intelligence tool intended to be used by nonprofit CEOs, boards, and funders to assess how well their organization is functioning operationally.
OpX360 covers all six areas of nonprofit operational best practices:
- Program Management & Accountability
- Governance, Legal & Risk Management
- Finance & Accounting
- Fundraising, Marketing & Communications
- People & Organizational Development
- Business Systems, IT and Facilities
Each area has 5-7 Key Elements describing and comprising the scope of operating concerns in each best practice area. Any of the OpX360 Area assessments can be taken individually or together, depending on the needs of the organization.
There are 60 Best Practice Statements in each of the 6 Best Practice Areas (ergo, 360). These statements are grouped into three competency levels. Those that demonstrate:
- A Foundational level of competency
- A Mature level of competency
- An Optimized level of competency
