Empiraa GPS for not for profits
The strategic plan your board signed off, running every week.
Empiraa GPS helps not for profits, charities, community services, member organisations and associations turn the strategic plan into owned goals, a short weekly rhythm and a board report written from live data, without adding a job to a lean team.

- 30-day pilot
The challenge
The strategic plan is beautiful. It is also a PDF.
The board approves a three-year plan. Service delivery, funding rounds and the day-to-day take the year, and the plan comes out again the week before it has to be reported on.
What gets in the way
The plan sits in a document
Once it is designed and approved, nothing brings it back into the week.
A lean team wears many hats
The same few people own strategy, service delivery and reporting.
Measures live everywhere
Outcomes sit in service systems, finance in accounting, and neither talks to the plan.
Reporting is a scramble
The board pack and the funder report are rebuilt by hand, from memory and spreadsheets.
How GPS helps
From an approved plan to a weekly rhythm.
How it works for not for profits
Your strategic plan, on one page
Purpose, values, strategic pillars and the measures under them, with live progress. The page the board approved and the page the team works from are the same page.
One owner for every commitment
Map the executive, service leads and shared roles in the Accountability Chart, so each measure has a name against it even when people wear several hats.
A rhythm that fits a lean team
A one-minute check-in, a timed agenda and decisions that leave as owned actions. The weekly meeting stops being a status update.
The board report, written for you
Pick the period and the tone, and GPS writes the report from live data with the decisions the board is being asked to make. Edit it, save a version, then export or email it.
Built for how you work
Made for organisations with a mission and a board.
What not for profits get
Unlimited users
Bring the whole organisation in, including the people delivering the service.
Ideas from the front line
The people closest to the community raise the improvement, and the best become objectives.

Questions
Questions not for profits ask.
We already have a strategic plan. Do we start again?
No. Upload the plan you have and GPS turns it into goals, objectives and actions with owners and due dates, ready for you to edit. Our team loads it with you as part of the rollout. See strategic planning.
Can the board see progress between meetings?
Yes. Directors can be given access to the plan itself, with live progress on every goal, so the pack confirms what they already know instead of being the first they hear of it. See GPS for boards.
Does GPS track our outcomes or client data?
No. Keep the systems that run services, clients and case management. GPS runs the plan above them: the strategic goals, their measures, the owners and the weekly rhythm.
Will it work for a lean team?
Yes, as long as the plan crosses more than one person. GPS is built for organisations whose plan spans several teams or sites, and the weekly commitment is about a minute an objective.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is set for each organisation, based on size, rollout and the support you want. Every plan includes unlimited users, ANI, implementation and training. Tell us about your organisation and we will put a plan together. See how pricing works.
