			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Insight Unlimited: Affordable Services for Slow Economic Times</p>
<p>Due to the shrinking economy and its effect on non-profit budgets, we<br />
have developed a variety of $200, $500, and $2,000 services.</p>
<p>$ 200 Services:</p>
<p>•	Stakeholder Brainstorm: Prepare for a collaborative project by figuring out who needs to be in the room.  Who has authority, resources, information, expertise, and/or need?<br />
•	Conflict Coaching: Sort out your concerns about a conflict and prepare to talk to the other person.</p>
<p> $500 Services:</p>
<p>•	Stages of Change Training: Learn about the different stages organizations go through during times of change.  Includes the theory of Non-Profit Life-Cycles.<br />
•	Roles Clarification Exercise: Work with your board and staff to reduce ambiguity, micromanagement, and under-involvement by clarifying who should do what in your organization.<br />
•	Mediation: We&#8217;ll help two parties to a conflict understand each other and find a solution they can both agree on. (A simple mediation will cost $500; mediating a  more complex conflict may cost more.)<br />
•	Asset Mapping: Discover the many resources your organization already has, and think about how you can draw on those resources to meet your needs.</p>
<p> $2000 Services:</p>
<p>•	Short-Term Fund Development Strategy: If your old fund development methods aren&#8217;t working, we&#8217;ll spend eight hours with you to help you develop a new fund-raising approach for your next three months.<br />
•	6 hour Appreciative Inquiry Retreat: An inspiring way to identify and build on your strengths.  Bring your organization together to remember moments of glory, create a shared picture of your organization at its best, and think about ways to replicate your success moving forward.<br />
•	Team-building Day: Turn a potential team into a real team by finding your purpose in the organization and the performance goals you plan to strive for together.</p>
<p>And we wanted to remind you of our most effective, comprehensive<br />
Service, Future Search.</p>
<p>•	Future Search: Transform your organization by overcoming obstacles that have kept you blocked for years.  Develop consensus among competing factions and create buy-in into a shared vision. A Future Search will cost anywhere from $5,000 to $40,000 depending on agency size. Click on our &#8220;Services&#8221; link for more information.</p>
