You don’t have to
Do it alone.
Do you have a vision for change but don’t know how to line up the team and resources to implement it? Are you afraid that your current systems & processes can't support growth, increasing stress and risk? Does your team lack clarity and alignment on the strategic plan? Are they stretched too thin, working too hard on efforts that aren't moving the organization forward? Do you feel alone in leadership, desperate for partnership from someone who has been through it before and who can help you plan more effectively for what comes next?
​
Get back to the work of growing your organization!
The Big Lil works with CEOs of non-profits and social enterprises who are overwhelmed by having to manage ALL of the external work and ALL of the internal work of running their organization:
-
A clear, actionable implementation plan that brings your strategic vision to life.
-
Increased financial clarity and confidence through improved budgeting practices.
-
Reduced compliance risk through stronger systems and safeguards.
-
More time and capacity to focus on external relationships and priorities.
-
Less isolation and stress through shared decision-making and support.
-
Stronger impact storytelling and reporting for grantors and funders.

Our vision and values
The Big Lil envisions a world where all social enterprises have the tools and capacity they need to succeed, driven by teams who feel connected to and sustained by their work.
​
-
We build a collective experience: We believe that the best work is done when people come together from different backgrounds and perspectives. We are committed to creating workplaces where everyone feels welcome, valued, and heard.
-
We focus on better not (necessarily) bigger: We believe that quality is more important than quantity, when it comes to building sustainable businesses and nonprofits. We are committed to doing the best work we can, even if it means saying no to projects that are not a good fit for us.
-
We move to action: We believe that there is no time to waste. We are committed to taking action and making a difference in the world.
-
We design for autonomy and joy: We believe that people are most productive when they are given the freedom to do their best work. We are committed to creating a workplace where people feel empowered to take risks and make decisions.
-
We partner with empathy and respect: Leadership is lonely and organizational design/change management is hard work. We show up with compassion, sensitivity and deep understanding. We work in partnership with our clients and their teams; we don't assume we know best; and we take a systems view to understand the systemic levers at our disposal, to help good organizations become great.
