I would like to express my appreciation and that of my strategic planning team for your leadership and Seven Centers’ support in helping Brighton Marine through the strategic planning process.

Faced with a divergent crew and an unusual,
multi-missioned non-profit corporation,
you were able to keep us focused throughout the planning process.
The destination was often elusive and the course rife with rocks and shoals,
but with your guidance, we finally got there.

We now have a flexible, working document which identifies our objectives and our challenges.
Thank you.

Kent W. Mathews
Cdr. USCG (Ret.)

Seven Centers came to work with
our non-profit when our board was falling apart.

Martha helped us to understand the real workings of a board,
met with new board candidates,
helped us to analyze our organization's needs,
and facilitated the creation of a strategic plan.

She gently, patiently, and clearly showed us what we need to know.

I feel that we are now back on track, and definitely moving forward.

Making the Most of I

"Success is a journey, not a destination."

This declaration is attributed to one of pro-football's most intrepid coaches, Vince Lombardi.

For Seven Centers, enduring organizational success is the result of steadfast commitment to the journey of work, which leverages the product of that work.


The journey of work involves creating an organizational community that is focused, transparent, and enabling.

Focus is the result of astute planning; transparency the result of clear communication; ability the result of talent, training, and flawless teamwork.

Our Intrepid Organization programs offer leaders and organizations custom-designed opportunities to enhance their planning, communication, training, and teamwork.

The guarantee is higher performance, leading to greater mission impact.


Seven Centers SMART! Plan™ Program

Your strategic/business plan is your mission game plan. Without it, your organization can't play an intrepid game.

Are you fully deploying your plan? Is it gathering dust on the shelf?

We invite you to take your plan off the shelf - especially if it's been 3 or 5 years - and work with us to transform it into the most valuable working document you will utilize to guide your organization's future.

In the SMART! Plan Program, we facilitate a strategic planning team of key stakeholders in your organization to engage in a three to six month process that generally includes: 

  • Assessing your internal and external environments
  • Revitalizing your organizational vision, mission, and organizational values
  • Creating a profile of your organizationin 3 to 5 years
  • Identifying and prioritizing 3 to 5 year strategic goals and objectives
  • Developing an implementation (tactical) plan
  • Developing a resource mobilization plan (finances, personnel, etc.)
  • Establishing monitoring and evaluation indicators
Our deliverables are a creative and rigorous process that builds community, and a solid and actionable plan.

Seven Centers SMART! Board™ Program

A special team with a unique role to play is the non-profit board of directors. Board membership is an important form of civic participation in our communities. Commitment to their organization's mission is foremost. It is equally important that each board member fully understands and expedites the duties expected of membership. This is critical to the health and stability of a non-profit mission.

Many boards, despite their enthusiasm and good intentions, lack the knowledge and skill to be effective catalysts for their non-profit mission.

Does this describe your board?

The SMART! Non-Profit Leadership Program is a six to twelve month engagement aimed at building the leadership capacity of your board. Based on an assessment of your organization’s leadership needs, we develop program that may address any or all of the following board duties:
  • Orienting your board to governance roles and responsibilities
  • Facilitating the review and, if necessary, the revision of your organization’s By-Laws
  • Establishing your organization's mission and setting strategic direction
  • Facilitating development of a comprehensive 3 to 5 year strategic and/or resource development plan
  • Contributing to and monitoring implementation of action plans
  • Assuring your organization's professional and ethical standards
  • Representing your organization in your community
  • Assuring Executive and Board recruitment and growth
     

Strategic Corporate Citizenship for Profit, People, and Planet

Sustainability and “Triple Bottom Line” accounting are increasingly important measures by which today’s companies are assessed in a world that is more educated, aware, and concerned.

First proposed by world-renowned thought leader on corporate responsibility and sustainability, John Elkington, the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) quantitatively and qualitatively measures how companies are creating value for their stakeholders— clients, employees, contractors, vendors, shareholders, communities, and the environment.
Savvy business leaders understand, based on growing evidence, that utilizing a TBL approach to business is smart strategy.

Seven Centers’ Corporate Cause Program is designed to give you and your company a competitive edge by:  
  • Establishing your company's TBL "baseline
  • Assessing strengths and opportunities for TBL performance improvement
  • Generating a TBL strategy aimed at transforming your business into a "Company of Choice"
  • Devising and implementing a TBL Tactical Plan
  • Preparing reports utilizing TBL formats, including the Global Reporting Initiative
