SERVICES
LabOraNZ offers a variety of consultancy services, designed to meet the needs of your group or organisation. Whether you're a neighbourhood church, a small social service agency, or a rapidly expanding not-for-profit or social enterprise, we can help you better shape your vision and strategy to fit your ever-changing world.
Vision & Strategic Planning
Why does your group exist? What is your purpose? And how can you make that dream a reality? Many organisations leap straight into strategic planning without ever checking whether they still know why they exist in the first place. LabOraNZ can assist you with finding and identifying your vision, and planning how to make it reality. From a weekend workshop to a longterm visioning exercise, LabOraNZS has the professional help you need to take your group into the future.
Communications
How is your organisation connecting with its staff? Stakeholders? Clients? Effective communication is a must for any organisation, yet many take for granted that what they've always done still works. LabOraNZ can assist with a comprehensive communications audit followed by recommendations and advice on how to make your communications systems work for you.
Leadership
​
Good leaders are made, not born. You need to ensure that as a leader you are constantly honing your leadership skills, and that others are receiving the support and training they need. LabOraNZ provides training and mentors to leaders committed to improving their skills and abilities.
Seasons for Growth
LabOraNZ works with the Seasons for Growth License Council as the national distributor of resources for this important grief and loss programme.
Facilitation
Contributing to a conversation at the same time as facilitating it is a challenge most of us can't meet. Using an outside facilitator frees your valuable team members up to focus on the work to be done, with all of them contributing rather than holding back. LabOraNZ has experienced, professional facilitators who can help make your meetings better and more focused experiences.
​Strategic Reviews
Taking time to pause and reflect isn't always easy when there's ever-more work to be done. Doing so is essential though if we want to be sure that we're working efficiently and effectively, and actually achieving what we set out to achieve. LabOraNZ can help you review your project creatively and carefully, holding consistently to your organisation's values and vision.
Cultural Change
Change is hard, and not just for individuals. Organisations often have ingrained cultures that are resistant to any efforts to change what they do or how. The challenge is even bigger when many people involved have been there for a long time and the organisation itself has deep roots. LabOraNZ has significant experience in working with groups during times of change and cultural shifts. We can help you negotiate these tricky waters and emerge stronger and ready to thrive.
Pastoral Care
Caring for your staff and volunteers isn't a luxury, it's essential. LabOraNZ can help you design and establish a pastoral care plan to ensure you are looking after your organisation's greatest asset - it's people!
