You spend too little time doing the things why you became a fundraiser and you do best
Your people devote too much energy to “fiefdom” goals rather than mission
You spend too much time in internal meetings and busywork
Your people have too few clear operating parameters
You tried everything “in the book” to do better
Your people struggle for professional respect
You know you could raise more if only …
Fundraising Performance Imperatives (FPI) is:
- A process-based, metric-measured approach to front-line development that creates a highly focused, self-managing team working in The Core Process to achieve higher levels of fundraising production; and,
- A high-ROI organizational design to reduce overhead and rebalance the organization to put more resources at the front line at a lower CPDR.
FPI is primarily based on three sources of performance improvement knowledge and data:
- Ongoing research by AHP to identify those factors that drive high performance;
- Proven Lean Six Sigma and quality principles from the commercial world; and,
- Our own observations over the past 12 years in developing and refining the FPI system with pioneering fundraising operations.
Come with us on a journey to personal or organizational high-performance.
