Organizational Transmutation

An unparalleled level of collaborative action between business, government, financial institutions, NGOs and civil society is required in delivering Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The types of collaboration required go well beyond the typical transactional and contract-based approach organizations are most familiar with and has to be innovative, systemic and transformational. Organizations from all sectors need to have the institutional competency and readiness to be able to effectively deliver these new forms of collaboration to scale up.

Most large organisations are finding they are not set up and operating optimally to be able to deliver on the rhetoric. Too many organizations find themselves involved in a whole plethora of arrangements, some delivering strategic value, many not, some stagnating or completely forgotten since an MoU was signed with much fanfare. Staff are finding it challenging to navigate their internal procedures or finding that they are taking too much of their time and effort without producing sufficient results to justify their investment.

MEASA supports organizations with a range of strategy, process and capacity development services that include, complete, holistic analysis of documentation, strategy, systems and procedures – including high-level recommendations for building institutional capacity and engage the relevant areas of the organization to ensure sufficiently wide buy-in. We implement a plan of action over a period of time that may typically include a partnering strategy, strategic imperatives, principles, UVP etc.; development of supportive systems and processes, internal guidelines and tools; legal agreements; training and coaching and nurturing of conducive culture.

Governance

Business landscape is being disrupted by radical digital transformation and new business models are overlapped with an important generational change in consumers and employees. Organizations, as a result,  need to continually evolve their business model and strategies. This may be through the development of new products/services, expansion to new geographies, or integration of new technologies. But, while adopting these new models and strategies, old ways of working may no longer work. Indeed, they may in fact hinder progress and generate inefficiencies.

Organizational design and the governance model are key aspects to support the organizational strategy and culture. They must evolve and be reviewed whenever there is a change in these areas. Depending on the size of the change, revision of the organizational design may be necessary within the entire organization or in specific business units and/or areas..

Partnership Development

MEASA is maximizing the benefits of collaboration by ensuring businesses understand how and why partnerships deliver value for their organization and also has a clear strategy to inform and prioritize engagement, along with the right leadership commitment to implement it. We have sound systems and procedures to be able to take partnerships through their lifecycle from initial identification through prospective value assessment, due diligence and sign-off, implementation, monitoring, reviewing and learning, along with supportive instruments – both legal and HR. We are skilled with the right mindset, relationship and trust-building skills and technical partnering knowledge.

Diplomacy

In this era of structural disruption, investors, multinational companies and governments alike face a higher level of uncertainty, enhanced geopolitical volatility and a vulnerable political consensus on trade, regulation and international cooperation. We are in the midst of volatile politics, shifts in public opinion and fast-changing technologies. Democratic governments and companies need expert assistance to get their message across, though cutting through the noise and shaping decisions is becoming a challenge for all.

We can help you to understand what’s driving an issue, the key players, and how they can be swayed. We can shape and deliver winning campaigns to influence opinions, policies and decision-makers at global and local level. We can be hands-on with your outreach strategies and deliver multi-layered political campaigns on your behalf, drawing together direct advocacy at all levels, media and data polling work, and building broad coalitions of stakeholders.

Risk Management

Risk management is an organizational mindset that helps confront uncertainty, increase transparency, and embed adaptability and resilience in their teams, processes, and systems. As such, identifying and managing risk—financial, non-financial, strategic, or operational risk—requires more than just selecting the right tools.

Though a data-driven exercise is required while addressing risk, very often critically important external and internal data is buried or otherwise unavailable to the risk management function. We can assist in creating an organized, cross-functional flow of information and data, enhanced by AI and analytics so that conversations about risk-reward balance becomes part of day-to-day business operations, creating an adaptive risk organization that is well versed in strategic risk management and ready to respond to challenges.

Conflict Management

Work processes usually cut across functional boundaries and involve different work teams made up of people with diverse backgrounds, different cultures, motivational needs, personality profiles and values. It is therefore inevitable that conflicts will arise and resolutions should be administered professionally to attain clarity as the overall effectiveness is largely dependent on how cohesive they work as a team.

We provide advisory, monitoring and evaluation services gained from conducting complex evaluations for international organizations, governments and civil society in the field of stabilization and peace-building  at country and regional levels.
