Execution Alignment Self-Assessment for Nonprofits
A short diagnostic to understand how well daily work connects to organizational priorities
When execution isn't clearly aligned
Teams stay busy, but it's hard to point to concrete progress that everyone agrees onProgress has to be explained, not seen — updates rely on narrative, context, and justificationWhen pressure rises, work defaults to what feels urgent — not what matters mostEach quarter ends with effort spent, fatigue accumulated, and lingering uncertainty about impact
This isn't a failure of effort or commitment. It's a lack of shared visibility.
When execution is aligned
Daily work clearly supports a small set of organizational prioritiesProgress is visible in a shared system, without extra explanationWhen a team member feels overwhelmed, they know the one thing to focus on that moves the organization forwardQuarter-end conversations are grounded in evidence, not stories
The work itself may not change — but the experience of the work does.
Make progress visible
See real movement toward priorities without tedious manual reporting, status chasing, or interpretation.
Reduce overwhelm with focus
When work piles up, your team knows the one thing to do next that moves the organization forward.
Stay flexible without losing alignment
Adjust sequencing as conditions change, without creating chaos or abandoning what matters most.
You're not alone in this
Most nonprofits are not struggling because people are not working hard. They are struggling because execution systems were never designed for the reality they are operating in. As organizations grow, work multiplies faster than clarity. Priorities get defined, but the connection between strategy and daily execution weakens over time.
At Caissa, we work at the intersection of strategy and execution — designing systems that fit how nonprofit teams actually operate, not how frameworks assume they should.
Step 1
Complete the self-assessment:
Take the Execution Alignment Self-Assessment for Nonprofits and get your Execution Alignment Score.
Step 2
Review your diagnostic results:
Schedule a Diagnostic Review Call to interpret your results and identify where alignment is breaking down.
Step 3
Build an execution system that fits your reality:
If it is a fit, we propose a clear 6-month engagement focused on execution alignment. Scope stays tied to agreed priorities.
At Caissa, we know that you want to end each quarter confident about what actually moved the organization forward. In order to do that, you need daily work to connect clearly to a shared set of organizational priorities. The problem is that even when everyone is working hard, the link between priorities and execution is often hard to see, which creates fatigue, uncertainty, and constant re-orientation to the vision and priorities.
We believe mission-driven teams deserve execution systems that fit the real world, not one-size-fits-all processes. We understand how hard it is to make high-stakes decisions in real time, under pressure, without a clear view of what is driving progress, which is why we start with a diagnostic.
Here is how we do it:
You take the Execution Alignment Self-Assessment for Nonprofits and get your Execution Alignment Score.
We review your Execution Alignment Diagnostic Results on a Diagnostic Review Call and identify where alignment is breaking down.
If it is a fit, we build an execution system designed for your organization's priorities, pace, and constraints.
So take the assessment to score how clearly your daily work connects to organizational priorities. And if you want help interpreting what you see, schedule a Diagnostic Review Call. So you can stop pushing hard without clear evidence of progress and instead run each quarter with shared visibility and alignment.
