ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT
For many schools, setting up a development office has been like stepping into the unknown – in some cases with unfortunate outcomes. It does not need to be like this and with the right advice and direction, a development office can quickly become effective in generating sustainable and well supported fundraising.
Ian’s involvement in this process can include guidance and advice in the following areas:
Starting a development office – doing it the right way, in the right order, to underpin a sustained and fruitful programme.
Alumni activity – establishing and nurturing the essential relationship between the alumni and development offices.
Recruitment – a complete service to recruit the right talent to direct and lead the development function.
Career advice – guidance to those development and alumni practitioners wishing to advance their career opportunities.
Mentoring and coaching – guidance on a regular basis to assist staff and/or management.
Interim Management – short or long term solutions during periods of restructure, start-up or change in personnel.
