Our Process

The 3P Reset

One process your team runs without reminders — clear owners, triggers and a visible task board — in six Friday sessions.

6

Friday sessions

2 hrs

each, with setup work between

30

day stick check

Built for organizations that grew faster than their systems

Growing nonprofits and mission-driven businesses, usually 10–75 staff, where the work has outpaced the way it gets done. The 3P Reset fits best when something just changed:

It fits best when something just changed

A new grant, contract or program added volume

You’re hiring fast, or a new hire can’t figure out what to do

A key person left and took the process with them

A dropped handoff caused real fallout

You bought software that nobody is using

Purpose + Process = Progress

01 Sessions 1–2

Purpose

Name the pain and its cost. Interview the people doing the work.

02 Sessions 3–5

Process

Co-design with your team. Document it, set up the tools, build the triggers.

03 Session 6 + 30 days

Progress

Train, go live, adjust. Check adoption 30 days later.

What happens

Stick check with you

What you’re left with

Adjustments, and proof it held

Each session is about two hours. I do the documentation and setup work between sessions, so your team’s time stays focused.

Everything in the 3P Reset

A task board with due dates and owners

A task board everyone can see

Current-state process map from team interviews — no more guessing what’s actually breaking

Ownership and handoff map — who owns each step, and what triggers the next one

Written SOPs for the redesigned process — so it doesn’t live in one person’s head

Tool recommendation and setup — so you stop paying for software nobody uses

A task board with due-date automation — overdue work becomes visible without asking

Team training and recorded walkthroughs — so the new process doesn’t die in week two

The New Hire Test — could someone start Monday and know what to do?

30-day stick check — catches backsliding before it sets in

Coordination with my automation partner for deeper builds (quoted separately)

Stays until it sticks.

If your team isn’t running the new process at the 30-day check, I add up to two more sessions at no charge until it is.

Common questions

We can’t afford a consultant.

It’s a fixed scope and a fixed price for one process. We start where the pain is costing you the most.

My team doesn’t have time.

About 45 minutes each for interviews, then a couple of working sessions. The fix gives the time back.

We bought software before and nobody used it.

Then the problem was adoption, not software. Training and the 30-day check are built into the Reset for exactly that reason.

You’re only available on Fridays?

Yes, and that’s the point. You get a dedicated day with me, not a junior team. I take one client at a time.

Do you understand nonprofits?

I’ve served on the board of Tribe 12, sit on my synagogue’s executive committee, and spent two decades working in nonprofit, government and social services.
