Conducted with Nous Group.
ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
SALVATION ARMY - DETAILED OPERATING MODEL "SPECIALIZED MISSION"
Led the development of the organizational structure for the Salvation Army's social services. The organization wanted more separation of the social services from the church duties of the organization. The work was complex and involved numerous workshops with the leadership team, a working group and engagement with the operational Directors of the social service functions. The outcome was an agreed upon organizational design, role descriptions and a high-level roadmap for implementation.

Working with 29 sexual assault centres across Ontario, led a strategic planning process to assist in the development of a comprehensive strategic plan to guide the coalition over the the next five years.
