STEP 3

Map What Matters

A simple, people-centered look at where improvements could make the biggest difference

In Step 3, we turn our attention to the gap between "how things are" and "how things could feel."

This isn't an audit—it's a thoughtful, grounded conversation about value in its most human form: ease, clarity, confidence, and time. We gently articulate the impact of the problems uncovered earlier and sketch the potential relief that improvement could bring. The goal is not to create urgency but to create understanding.

In this step, we explore:

  • The real-world cost of friction for your team
  • Where small changes could reclaim time or reduce stress
  • How better processes support program quality and reporting
  • The potential lift for staff, clients, and leadership

Outcomes

You Receive: The Opportunity & Relief Report™

A clear, take-with-you report that:

  • Identifies the potential for reclaimed time and smoother workflows
  • Highlights mission-aligned opportunities for meaningful relief
  • Stands on its own whether or not you continue to Step 4

How We Start

We open Step 3 by reviewing your Step 2 deliverable and tracing each point of friction to the potential value it touches—operational, emotional, or mission-level.
