CSR/Corporate Philanthropy

FSG helps corporations complement their social investment strategies with the internal structures and processes needed to support them company-wide.

It is a truism of business strategy that unless strategy and structure are aligned and mutually-supportive, the desired results fail to materialize. This situation is no less true when it comes to corporate social responsibility and corporate contribution strategies.

FSG helps corporations bring their organizational management systems, decision making processes, reporting and infrastructure in synch with their strategies. We begin by analyzing the design choices implied by the strategy. Then, we work to define the needed organization structure and processes, and compare this future vision with the status quo to uncover similarities and differences.

We create a detailed action plan to map out the steps to successful implementation. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but instead a careful and collaborative process geared toward achieving excellence. Our operations and organization-related services include:

• Organizational alignment and governance. How should our organization be structured to best support our strategy?
• Change management. How can we create and manage an orderly process to move quickly from the status quo to our new strategy and organizational structure?
• Operational benchmarking. Can we restructure our operations to achieve our objectives at lower cost?
