My approach is grounded in the belief that operations are not separate from mission. They are how the mission actually gets carried day to day. At KJ Consulting Group, I work side by side with nonprofit leaders and teams to strengthen systems, clarify roles, and reduce the friction that slows work down. The partnership is hands on when needed and reflective when that better serves the organization, informed by experience leading inside nonprofits.
Rather than applying a fixed model, the work adapts to each organization’s context, capacity, and moment in time. The aim is practical and consistent. Operations that function more clearly. Responsibility that is shared rather than concentrated. Systems that support both the work and the people doing it.

I do not bring prepackaged solutions. I work side by side with you to shape operational approaches that reflect your mission, values, and real capacity. The focus is on what will actually work in your organization right now, while laying a foundation you can sustain over time.

Rather than looking at issues in isolation, I pay attention to how systems, roles, and workflows interact across the organization. This makes it easier to see where friction is building and where responsibility is unclear. Strengthening those connections reduces strain and helps the organization function more reliably day to day.

Operations only work when they support the people responsible for carrying them. Every stage of the partnership considers senior leaders, staff, and partners, with an emphasis on clarity, ownership, and consistency. The goal is not control, but systems that help people do their work with confidence and steadiness across roles and teams.

Working with KJ Consulting Group looks different depending on where an organization is and what it is carrying. The partnership adapts to your needs rather than forcing a fixed model.
For some organizations, that means stepping back to strengthen operational systems and clarify how work gets done. For others, it means hands on operational leadership during a transition or period of strain. And for many, it means ongoing coaching and thought partnership that helps leaders lead more steadily and distribute responsibility more effectively.
Across all engagements, the focus remains the same. Practical support that strengthens operations, supports the people doing the work, and helps organizations function more clearly over time.
