People, Planning & Progress

Mission work is passion work. It is meaningful and also very hard. The people doing it, from the executive directors and board members to the program staff, are holding a lot. They're making decisions under pressure of limited resources, community needs, navigating team dynamics, and trying to plan for a future  that keeps shifting.

 

What is needed is someone skilled and experienced who can see the full picture and offer guidance. 

 

That’s where KS Solutions Consulting comes in.

 

For over 20 years, Kate Scherr-Adams has partnered with nonprofits, government agencies, and universities at critical moments such as leadership transitions, strategic crossroads, team challenges, and points of growth.

She doesn't only address the problem you bring, but she takes the time to fully assess what's going on overall, what your team needs to thrive, and what needs to be set in place to set your organization up for success.

 

At the foundation of every KS Solutions engagement is a belief that:

• Organizational success and human well-being are interrelated.

• Strong teams build strong organizations.

• People who feel supported do better work.

• Leaders who have a trusted thought partner, someone with experience who will be honest and direct, help process options, walk alongside, to help the organization make better decisions and lead with greater confidence.

 

We also believe that good work includes joy.

• We bring creativity, warmth, and yes, a little fun to every engagement, because we've found that people do their best thinking when they feel at ease.
